The 150W iron I have is from Ersa, it wasn't very expensive, under $50 AFAIR. What I found to be quite good as well is the Weller 100/140W solder gun. Those are really cheap. I often ran into "not enough solder oomph" situations at clients and then we did a hardware store detour at lunchtime and bought one. Around $20, usually.
