Why would you want to go through the pain of stuffing
your own SMD
parts?
Can't speak for Tony, but from my perspective, you've got it all
wrong. When I get a kit and find someone has partially assembled it
to "help" me, I grumble and swear. The proper question is "Why would
you want to surrender the fun of installing the SMD parts?"
I don't need another P112, so my opinion is largely irrelevant to
this topic, however.
