I plan on using one of the cheap Hakko clones, they come in two versions, one with a thermistor sensor (like the Weller) and one with a thermocouple.
The thermistors used in both the Hakko and Weller are positive coefficient but different slope, I am pretty sure tha Hakko can be modified with resistors to mimic the Weller slope over the range 200 to 400 deg C.
I will report on my findings.
