I wish I would have known that one was coming out. I bought a WESD51 less than a year ago. I like the readout of the new one although mine has a dial which is probably better than the up/down arrows.

I've done a lot of soldering in recent years. Depending on what type of soldering you want to do, I suggest buying a small project kit and soldering that together. Search up "blinky grid soldering"...

I need a heating source to attach a brand to (branding wood coasters for my wedding). Does anyone have an idea if any of these brands would create enough heat to warm a small brand to burn into wood?

But 10 watts is 10 watts... nothing can change physics. You can get 400c on 1 watt, or .1 watt, etc.
Higher wattage means it can deliver more heat, not just temperature or initial heat up speed....

Not sure why this hasn't been mentioned, but use flux. Always use flux.
And on really small/finicky SMD use a rework station.
