LZ1AQ's site is one of the best for technical info. I have not used his products but know they are well designed.
And neither the complexity nor surface mount technology are factors for the user: all boards are mounted and tested per the product description.

Dozens and dozens of surface mount components on these boards - I imagine the boards are pre-populated - there are only a few of us that have the gear for doing surface mount (I have a HAKKO rework station...) Good value by the looks of it.
