That does look pretty impressive.  I was disappointed to see that the
negative regulators are not nearly as good, much higher noise and PSRR
not nearly as good.  I got excited about using for bipolar supplies, but
some op-amps reference the output to the negative supply, so it would be
nice to have a negative regulator of equivalent performance.

I bought one of these just for QFN packages:

Haven't really had time to try it out properly.  It is definitely
limited, no automatic temperature vs. time profiles, you have to look at
your watch and play with the temperature setting for controlled ramp up
and ramp down, but hard to beat the price.  I think I paid $170
including shipping, which was a lot cheaper than I could find any other
air system with IR bottom side heat.
