Is a butane soldering iron better than an electric one?

Reviewers across r/Tools and r/electronics praise butane irons like the LEXIVON LX-770 and Weller PSI100K for cordless portability and fast heat, calling them ideal for field repairs and heavier joints. The recurring criticism is the lack of fine temperature control and a tendency to overheat, which makes them less ideal for delicate circuit-board work than a controlled electric station.
