I guess I've been burned too many times by the "don't make em like they used to" flame, so I now buy everything at Costco where I can return it if it breaks in a year!

I, of course, relinquished my old reliable Black and Decker iron to a remodeling project and now it's ruined (SOB!) I figured it would be fun to get a new iron, but I'm rethinking that idea based on reviews I've read, so I'm back to buying at Costco.

So my two (Costco) choices of irons are:
Rowenta SteamPower (which appears to be a Costco-specific Pro Master) ~$70
Sunbeam Turbo Steam Master Pro ~$30.

I actually bought the Rowenta, but it's huge, heavy, and puts out more steam than I like (cough-cough). I also don't think it gets very hot. I think it would be nice for clothing, but for quilting, not so much.

I'd go get the Sunbeam, but I want to make sure I'm not going to be returning it right away because it's extraordinarily sub-par or something.

So question: For quilting!!!!

Do you own either of these irons?
Does the weight and steam of the Rowenta pay off once a person gets used to it?
Is the Sunbeam a good iron?

Any other considerations welcome.

Thank you in advance!
