I like my Ersa Analog 60 for general soldering. Ersa does high class devices for a reasonable price. it's a good alternative to Weller.

For oscilloscopes. I once used a Tektronix digital oscilloscope (forgot the actual number) and it was, well, a bit "special". I know Tektronix builds very good oscilloscopes. But they also build kind of poor devices. I had a lot of wrong measures with the Tekronix which I originally trusted and was searching my software to death for the "error" I was measuring. Eventually it was the Tektronix and not my software. It actually costed me a serious couple of days of work and provided me quite some headaches. I prefer Hameg (Rohde & Schwarz), they never let me down.
I was able to work with the Tektronix later, but I didn't trusted that device too much and put only some monitoring data to it. I loved my Hameg oscilloscopes though.
