Default RE: Solder help

What would be a good soldering station to get that won't break my bank? I found this one at Horizon Hobby but it is only 40w. Should I just stick with the 80w Weller iron I have now?

BTW I tried again this evening and didn't accomplish a thing. Maybe the silver solder I got is not of good quality. I can't even get anything to melt except the paste flux, which I suspect has a very low melting temperature.

Not much has been said about the efficacy of a butane or propane torch. What about going this route like some others seem to have done? Pros and cons?
