Do I Need a New Iron?

I'm of the camp of buying wrinkle resistant clothing to avoid ironing.  In the past, I have purchased some great dress shirts that just sit in the closet with wrinkles as I can't be motivated enough to pull out the ironing board and iron...


So my dilemma now is that I have been sewing.  To sew properly, you need to press stuff.  I'm doing most of my pressing and sewing at Val's house and she has this ultimate iron/steamer combo.  It is a Rowenta with a separate tank for water.  It makes ironing so easy....


I spent the past weekend doing a bit of sewing at home and I got out my board and trusty Norelco iron and filled the little reservoir with water and pressed some seams.  It worked pretty well but I admit to lusting after a Rowenta iron/steamer.


I even checked Amazon and found this.  I got in the mail today one of those 20% coupons from Bed, Bath & Beyond but am not sure if they carry it in the store.  They do have it on their web store here.  With tax and the coupon, it would be a little cheaper than Amazon.....


I think I paid around $20 for my Norelco iron.  Will I get full use out of a $100 iron?  That is the dilemma.....
