Pretty much this. Abridged for my little knowledge: I can easily set up my favorite temperature, and I can be sure that it's constant no matter how big the part I'm soldering. As a bonus, the soldering iron cools down when I'm not using it, making accidental touches less painful. Another bonus: there's a "boost" button for very stubborn solder joints.
