Actually if you take a look at the page the Hakko Gene linked to has all 
of that.... "Temperature: 200 - 480°C or 392 - 896°F" "*Note:* Both the 
900M series tips and the T18 series tips will work with the FX-888."

I agree, it looks like it would be more than enough to do anything my 
modest tinkering would require.
