Because if he had a particular budget in mind, then instead of blowing it all on a soldering iron he could spend less and get a get a de-soldering iron as well. Given what he said he'd be using it for this sounded like the best way to go to me.

I've used $200+ soldering stations before that were amazing to use but I would never recommend them to someone just doing occasional repairs.
