It's a very personal thing. I have a few Optivisors and microscopes. Thing
about Optivisor is distortion and clarity of lenses. Being a photography nut
as well, those things bother me. I also have a stereo zoom microscope 10x to
40x and with a barrow lens at 0.5x, effectively making it 5x to 20x. It is
mounted on a long boom stand. This is perfect for my needs. 5x to work, 20x
to inspect.
My stereo microscope is made by an Indian company, LaboMed, and cost about a
double of some Amscope. Despite the general reputation of Indian products,
this is a very well made and a quality instrument.

I have an AM-SCOPE 7-35 magnification stereo microscope. I also have
an OptiVisor with a 5x stereo lense that my son gave me about 10
years ago. As nice as the microscope is, I generally wind up using
the OptiVisor. I have to agree with you about trying to solder under
a microscope. It take a lot of practice.

I bought some magnifying glasses with 5 sets of different power
lenses you wear like glasses. It has built in led light and
adjustable strap that hold it on your head off Amazon. Works great. I
can do all small surface mount stuff with them. Plus I have my normal
vision and hand eye coordination going that way. Soldering under a
scope or on a video monitor is a lesson all in itself!
