If you prefer smaller irons, check out the Pinecil iron. You'll need to get a powerful enough USB AC adapter/battery pack for it, but how many soldering irons can you run from a battery pack? Exactly.
Both have their places. If you don't do that much and most of it is lighter duty, consider the Pinecil. If you have an electronics workbench that will need an iron going pretty steadily, this will pay dividends in comfort and usability.

That said, those portable ones are always tempting me too. Apparently the Pinecil goes to 60 watts (doesn't say on Amazon)? That would still be a small upgrade in power for me.
Don't really need a portable one as I have butane soldering irons. No idea what the watt equivalent of those are, but they struggle to solder thick gauge cables too.
How many mediocre soldering irons does a tinkerer need?

Soldering stations like OP are mandatory for anything bigger than 14awg though. Specially on pcb grounds small field irons like the ts80 WORK but not as well as a workstation iron like the one posted for sure.
