I build all my SMT projects with my 30+ year old Weller WTCPT iron, and an Optivisor. Have been for years now.

I think what many of us are saying, is that type of construction is not for everyone. I have a nice Weller soldering station and a variety of tips for it, as well as enough 63/37 solder to last a lifetime. Somehow it fell into my tool pouch from time to time, when I was in the Air Force working on air traffic control radar systems. :-) I'd rather spend my money on other items for the shack, than for the tools necessary to do SMT work.
