Using metcal and 60/40 is an odd recommendation. Metcals are great for reproducibility since they don't have arbitrary tip temp choices, but for exploratory work I like using a quality iron like Pace..
63/37 is way easier to deal with when soldering since it's harder to create a cold joint with it.

(Six layer board with a thermal relief on each layer? Good luckski) Also a 5X binocular microscope is really good to have. Time goes by. The eyes get weak and the parts get smaller.
