OK Arvid, it appears you have lots of options that won't cost you an arm and a leg. Here's the one the guys at work recommended. It's only about $60 and I told them you were willing to pay more for a quality one. They said this one works as well as the more expensive ones.

I had looked for a hot air unit some months back and I found this one to be highly recommended and being of a bit higher quality than the lower cost made in China units. I haven't bought it yet but had planned to at some point.

There are two other brands that are considered to be made for the industry rather than for the hobbyists. Quick and XYtronic.
Behind door number three.

And then there's this one that is also supposed to be of higher quality but not quite up the the quality of a Hako or Weller but for a lot less money.
Behind door number four.

I'm now leaning towards this one. I like the fact that it has a suction cup to lift the components off of the board once the solder is melted. It would be useful mainly for removing ICs.

Hope this helps some.
