I've used ZD before, more expensive Hakko, but outstanding quality, doesn't feel heavy and it is in another league. Made in Japan, and you can feel that in every way. Worth the extra money if you just want the best and use it frequently. Also the extra tips and filters are made in Japan. Being a fan in audio stuff, Japan is the best in every way. In the future i will buy the soldering station from them, i have a ZD and for the money is ok, but if you don't want to spend time checking temp accuracy, stability, extra tinkering, go for Hakko. The only downside is the cheap holder, but you can use another holder, no problem there.
