Default What soldering iron?

Sat in bed with a Lemsip feeling crap and trying to use the time to sort out some stuff that needs sorting. My Antex HP80 iron has finally died so I need a new one. That one was (I think) an 80w jobby that put out some stonking heat but wasn't very good at precision stuff as it had a massive flat tip that made getting at ESC tabs a pain. What would be a good wattage in a smaller iron to do RC stuff and preferably one with precision tips too? Any recommendations (but sadly can't stretch the budget to an LRP Solder Station or similar)
