Why not just get a Pro station for the same price? I use this at least once a month and 9 years later it acts (and even looks!) just like new: https://www.amazon.com/Weller-WES51-Analog-Soldering-Station/dp/B000BRC2XU

RampantBiologicI agree with you - get a pro station used for the same price. it will last decades and there are proper tips and replacement handles available.
But i wouldn't recommend the station you linked. you're better of with a station that has proper temperature regulation (where 280°C on the knob is 280°C tip temperature) - go for something like a used weller wecp-20 - and don't fall for the cheaper magnsastat models where you need a sepereate tip for each temperature. those are not versatile enough for home or small lab work.
