One of the problems with low wattage irons is that you have too much dwell time on the solder joint if it has more thermal mass. That is, if the joint has more massive and/or more conductive components, a low wattage iron will have to stay on the joint longer to get the solder to flow and wet the joint. This gives more time for the heat to flow down the leads and traces. In many cases, it's better to use a higher wattage iron with a higher tip temperature, and get in and out more quickly, allowing less time for the heat to flow into the leads. Obviously, some judgement is needed in this.
