My friends have said RF is the real deal and raved about metcal.

this article describes some of the brands and how they work:

it breaks down the tech levels of each of the brands.

What's unclear to me - even with the github repo - is if the newer TS80 TS100 pinecil soldering irons use the high-end technology even if they use the tips.

Pretty sure it doesn't - I don't think there's room for it in there, does actually need a station.
