I do fancy a desoldering gun, I will admit.

If you ever do use one you won't ever be able to go back to a hand desolder pump. Not long ago they used to cost in the mid hundreds for units by Weller or Metcal, possibly still do, but you can get quite acceptable temperature controlled ones for around the £80 upwards mark which are still way better and less liable to cause damage than hand desolder pumps.
This would be a typical example, I don't have one of these myself but there are a few people on the forum who do have this or a similar model. You can probably find them cheaper in other places, not necessarily with the same brand on them.
