Phil, I'd do the board/"plug in" mods first, then any soldering mods last if possible. I'd only want to crack the case once, do the mods, close it back up, then opcheck. The board mods should go very easily; the soldering mods will depend on your skill/experience with a soldering iron. Don't forget the trusty DMM.
