> The one downside someone pointed out is that replacement tips are pricey

And, at $25 for a set of four, they aren't even that expensive.

Depends on the tip quality. The one I got with my toolcraft soldering station lasted a good while, but any replacements I get just freaking melt away and are only good for a few uses. On the other hand they are $3 for a pack of 10, so it's probably still cheaper overall than the OEM stuff lol.
The ones I'm referring to are the official tip sets from Pine64, e.g.:
