I know there are many threads on this, but can't hurt to ask my specific question.
Been looking for a new iron, have seen the recommendations for a T10. Recently, have decided that I also want to get a rework gun.

So, among the many options available on ebay and ali, what would be the best way? Get a T10 or T12 with just a standalone rework gun? Is a T12 as good as a T10? Get one of the myriad rework stations available, which have so many model numbers I will call them 8xxx? Are the irons on the rework stations as good as a T10 or T12?

Any insight appreciated. TIA
 
Interesting that I hear about T10 type for a first time. And I can't find almost anything about it in the Internet. It may possibly mean that I definitely would not buy T10 station (as for me).
And T12 - is great.
That is ok to buy a standalone rework gun. And there are now come combined T12-rework gun stations too.
