We just bought more BTU's replacing older ones. You can't overload them and the new flux vapor/residue removal/control systems are worth looking at. They work fine here and at my last contract with H-P while running but three profiles for 1500 different assembly types - difficult to say the least. We run lots of gold here. At H-P we ran everything.
