If this is temperature controlled, as the dial implies, a high wattage heating element allows quicker warmup and quicker recovery after soldering large wires. The heating element is cycled on and off, so there is little downside.
One minor downside of this type of iron is that the power cord is thick, stiff and a bit dangerous. It's carrying 120V so the insulation needs to be thick. The usual insulation is PVC, so even the thick insulation is vulnerable to melting through to the wire almost instantly. Better soldering irons have a control box so that the soldering iron section can be supplied with 24V through a thinner flexible cable.

This thing definitely needs a better stand though. There's another burn mark on my workbench just waiting to happen. 🙄
