True, but try soldering something ANYTHING, even a small wire, in your car parked outside in the winter (unless you live someplace where it doesn't get cold) and you will wish you had a much higher wattage soldering gun. Yes, this is based on personal experience, and yes Maryland is one of the warmer places that still gets real winter weather sometimes, so I imagine this is even more relevant in colder climates than where I live.
