Some of the posts on soldering stations are kinda old now, so in the interest of keeping up with the times, I'd love to hear recommendations of a good quality soldering station under $100! I've gotten suggestions between the Hakko FX888D and Jeremy's favorite (over at Project Garage) Blackjacks...

I had them both at an earlier point and originally I thought it would be overkill to have both, but with all the sales happening I'm increasingly tempted to get the 650's again since they sound different and I really liked them. Does anyone else have both? How did you decide which ones to keep...
