Personally, I wouldn't use a non-temperature controlled 40 watt iron on a circuit board. Too much, and you may end up lifting traces off the circuit board if you're not careful. 750 degrees is a good temp for board soldering, and you'll get that with most 25 watt pencil-type irons if you don't want to spend for a temperature controlled station (although that's what I'd certainly recommend if you're going to put together a nice piece like the VTA).
