I do not understand the general fear of working with SMT components.  The
import hot air soldering stations are relatively cheap and easy-to-use.  And
magnifiers are available -- even binocular microscopes start around $500 for
the heavy hitters.  (I had a good learning experience replacing some chips
in my iPhone 6 Plus to fix the "touch screen disease.") 

I think that SMTs should propel solder kit building to a new level, not shut
it down!  Just sayin'
