I am very interested in hearing more. I recently purchased a $650 industrial hot plate but it is not as ideal as I thought it would be. I want to reflow boards that have ~80 components on them. Mostly small caps and resistors plus TQFP and VFQFN chips. the boards are only about 130x95mm so they will fit fine in here and I am very okay with just doing one at a time too. I just think this would hopefully be a better solution than the hot plate at least. (Considering I may actually save 200 when I return the hot plate it is very appealing.) Also, I assume they have probably changed the design some since 2009 when these units first began to appear, which is when a lot of the reviews were written, (also mostly about the T962, not the T962A).
Does this have 2 or 4 tubes? I can't seem to find that info. I did find this review, but I can't seem to find the model he discusses:
