Now that I have gotten down the basics of soldering and desoldering, I'm looking to get a Hot Air gun primarily for SMD stuff. Not trying to get too fancy, but just something to learn on and hopefully do a few bits and pieces. There really seem to be 2 entry level options, which seem to be the same gun just rebranded:

Then the jump up is several hundred of dollars, until getting into the higher end Hakko model$$$. Was wondering if there's any advice or recommendations people on this forum can throw. In hindsight I was happy to spend some extra bucks on my Hakko soldering iron to get something good quality, and was wondering if I'm going to want an upgrade if I purchase one of these cheaper guns.
Cheers.
