I have long used TCPs for larger work but was more or less forced to get something smaller for surface mount so bought an MLR21 / PU81 and it`s excellent - of course they`ve now discontinued the MLR21...

I can`t comment on the stand as I didn`t buy one, having a long dead old Weller PSU with a suitable spring holder lying around.

I have used Metcals, can`t get on with them at all.
