Picked up a Yihua 8786D on eBay for $40 shipped. It is a neat little unit with a digital readout. Soldering iron came with a .8mm conical tip and goes from 200ºC to 480ºC and goes from room temp to max in 1 min and 24 seconds. The hot air gun works from 100ºC to 480ºC and heats up to max in 16 seconds. The hot air gun doesn't activate until you pick it up, and when you put it back in the holder, the heater shuts off and the fan stays on until it cools back down to 100º and it shuts off.
Came with the station with integrated holder for the hot air gun and a little soldering stand with tiny sponge.
It also uses the Hakko style soldering tips, just like my cheapo iron that I keep in my go kit.
If you simply search for 8786D, you'll find them for $39-$45 or so.
