I use and Edsyn "Loner" Model CL1080 for 95% of my work, with a variety of tip sizes.
There's two at work in my shop as well in daily use. 9w to 70w temp controlled.
( http://www.edsyn.com/index.php?Mode=piw&pn=CL1080 )

But, I do have two "real" Weller 8200's (tip hex nuts, not screws) and
a Weller D550 (older version), for when I really, REALLY need to solder.

I'm about ready to order a new case for the D550 though; too many chunks missing.
