I finally found my perfect iron, the Reliable Maven 120IS. I bought it direct from the website, refurbished, for half price. Same warranty as new. I don't know why I waited so long. I use steam a lot but since you don't try this one:
WASING Classic Dry Iron for Industry Household Usage Upgraded Mirror Stainless Steel Soleplate Without Steam 1000W
It is less then $40 at Amazon.
