Oh man.... you all are enablers!
I went over to massdrop to check out the Aurifil... and found the Oliso Pro iron over there for $120 with free shipping.
Now that I'm moving into my rolling cabin (I bought that used motorhome yesterday to have some "get away" space to sew and work on a few more patterns!) ... I'm thinking I need one set of gear to leave in the bus, and still have things at home, too.
Headed back to massdrop.
