I have the cordless Panasonic, too. Not having a cord is a great feature, but my go to iron is an old T-Fal corded. I've had many irons, gravity feed and many of the other expensive corded irons. I find there's a lot of fiddling with the cordless Panasonic: it turns off, have to adjust to make sure it's hot enough. My sewing machine and design boards are all in reach of my corded iron and I can rely on it's being heated. I also think the Panasonic doesn't get as hot. So, I would base your decision on how important not having a cord is.
