Yes, a thermostatically-controlled electronic solder station makes a HUGE difference. I used to think I was a complete klutz until I got one. (Well, I *am* a complete klutz, but these things make up for it.) Well worth the money. 

Although I have never tried a RS solder station, I have had very bad luck with their low-end soldering irons and guns.  I would seriously consider investing a few more bucks in a low-end professional unit.  I have this one:
