Looking at purchasing a Weller soldering iron. I was comparing the WESD51 and the WD1001. Aside from the obvious price difference I wanted to know if the 85watt is total overkill for cable making. The only reason I would guess would be for large contacts. But then wouldn't the 50watt be fine? I understand that the wattage is really dealing with how fast the pencil will come up to temp as well as stay at temp.
Also can I always just change to a different low wattage pencil on either station for intricate work?
Thanks in advance.
