I don't think, even though termostatically controlled, that any
stations response time could be quick enough to boost power DURING a
2-3 second soldering.

In the engineering lab I used to work they had a Weller iron that
responded pretty quickly.

The power LED on the base was bi-colour. When the heat was on it was
red, green when off. When you touched the iron to something you would
see the duty cycle change right away.

The small tip would heat pretty quickly (room temp to 900F in under a
minute).
