I've never had anything other than $15 Radio Shack models that
take a good 15-20 minutes to heat up. I decided to finally bite
the bullet and buy something decent.

I'm not looking for anything crazy, just a decent iron.  I don't
want to go much over $120 or so.  I'm hoping i can get something
usable for that price, let me know if i'm wrong.

I mostly just solder wires and a few simple ICs (car parts) as
well as the occasional Indigo battery fix.  Stuff like that.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks for the input,
