I need to buy a gas soldering iron. The application is limited

a better quality iron than would be suited only to occasional repairs.
There are now quite a few on the market. Can anyone offer any
firsthand recommendations as to the best and/or most cost effective
brands and models?
The original Weller's still look good, but seem a bit expensive
compared with the newer imports.

These "gas" irons are rather poorly made in China devices. [OK, one
was made in Taiwan.] I've had two fail in the field. Granted, they
were cheap, but not being able to do the repair was the issue. I found
using an inverter and conventional soldering iron is much simpler.
