I've been browsing the forums and after spending way too much time being frustrated with my cheap soldering iron I think it's time to upgrade. It seems to me that the Hakko 936 seems to be the most recommended soldering station around here.
I have also seen some people talking about the CSI $35 clone. how would this compare? is it really worth the extra $ to get the hakko?
I think I want to get some extra tips and a tip cleaner so some recommendations on those would be great as well. Also, is a solder spool holder thing really helpful?
I have this solder:

kester 24-6337-8801, 63/37 .031 1#SPL if the link doesn't work
I like this over anything else I've ever used. So I don't think I would need to buy anything different, would I?
