Most of mine are just like that, but getting the TS100 is a real bonus for SMD stuff, for heavy stuff,and primarily for me can run off my Dewalt drill batteries. Being temp controlled with swappable bits with different elements means you can go from a tiny tip to a massive wedge using the full 100w very easily, and being able to do that inside a speaker can in a field without having to find an inverter or whatever is well worth the price of admission
