Yah, lead is nasty. I went lead-free on my bench this year. Despite what everyone tells you about lead-free solder needing more heat, it actually wants a cooler iron. A hot iron boils off all the flux really fast, and lead-free solder needs LOTS of flux activity.

The Hakko is like $80USD shipped. Best investment I've made, ever. It even comes with a good tip, standard.
