Default Which soldering iron/station to buy?

Hey guys I finally want to upgrade from my pos radioshack soldering iron ive been using for the past year

Ive used the weller soldering station before and loved it and was looking at buying the wesd51 digital version for 140$ (40 or so shipping). I then came across these soldering stations that include a heat gun that can also be used for heat shrinking, very handy! Some also appeared to have a dc voltage source as well. Anyone educated and/or experienced with any of these soldering stations and can give me some insight? Some of them were the same price or cheaper than the weller with more options so it appeared to be a win win quality depending.

Here were some of the stations i was looking at...
