My WTCPT wore out (base cracked, etc.) after 15-20
years; still usable but ... . I looked around and
ended up replacing it with the WESD51 for the
reasons cited below. As I recall the price was
about the same because the WTCPT is now out of
production.

In the WTCPT If you want to change the temperature you will have to
change the tip. I have been using the WESD51 which has a knob
adjustable temperature setting. During the build of my K3 being able to
adjust the temp based on what I was soldering was very handy. I have
never had a bad experience with a Weller bench soldering station. I
used to abuse them heavily professionally and they worked great.
