Need help choosing a soldering station?

Question

Soldering

Hello! I always used a conventional soldering iron with a wooden handle for 30 W ... For 10 years of amateur radio practice, I learned how to solder SOIC and TQFP cases, but now there is a need for soldering PLCC cases and, perhaps, in the future the situation will only worsen ... I
thought that a soldering station with a hairdryer is better for such purposes.
The hair dryer will be used for the above types of cases, and the soldering iron for soldering other SMD components and output elements, up to soldering large power connectors.
Interested in the station aoyue 899a + Who has it, unsubscribe, is it worth taking? If it’s bad, who is well versed in such a tool, which one is worth taking with a budget of ~ 5 thousand rubles?
Do not offer lukey stations or whatever they are.

Which soldering station to choose?
It is better to buy a separate soldering station and a separate hot air gun.
For personal use, it makes no sense to buy something very expensive ... take a look at the GOOT PX-501AS - a handy soldering iron, small station size, high power and compatibility with Hakko 900 series tips.
