Does the display show actual tip temperature or just the preset?

It is actually both, you preset the temperature, then can see the temp climb as the tip heats up, and it holds very accurately at the set temp. There are several modes it can display and it tells you when sleep mode is active as well.

Is there going to be a noticeable difference between the FX888D and this FX951? I will be using it for mostly TH with an odd SM thrown in on occasion?

For TH soldering you probably won't really notice a difference but I have noticed I have a lot more control with SMT stuff using the fx951. It's honestly the best station I have ever owned even over some that are significantly more expensive.

Does it come with the wire for sleep mode function

Yes it does -- FYI doesn't come with a soldering tip
