In reviewing the K2 manual prior to ordering/building I have noticed

at a time) will get you there with a lot less chance of an error in
assembly.
It kinda depends upon whether you are able to develop a 'soldering
rhythm'. If you CAN do this, it's not difficult to solder in groups...
just keep count of the joints (err... connections) you solder each
time and if your count is off, then you need to find the missed
connection.
Unless, of course, you get interrupted, or encounter a particularly
difficult soldering situation that saps your concentration and causes
you to lose count. My experience is that you can count on losing
count. :-)
