As far as the auto shut offs go, I had to transplant one from one Rowenta into another one. It seems like you could take it out if you don't like them.
I have a Rowenta that is about 15 years old. The cord got a short so I took it to the local vacuum/sewing shop and had the cord replaced. It wasn't very expensive to have done.
Because of the occasional sputter of water (user error) and the cord dragging back across my quilting projects, I just bought the Panasonic 360 cordless one. I really do love it so far. I am also taking the suggestion of a misting bottle of water, rather than putting it in my iron.
