Microscope for SMD

Since we have no idea when DMS will be back open, I’m considering buying a microscope for use in building some surface mount boards.

I see several that use a LCD screen and camera that are fairly reasonably priced.

The stereo microscopes are roughly twice as expensive ( and up ).

For those that have experience with SMD soldering - are the LCD versions good enough ? How much better are the stereo optical versions ?

Unfortunately I never got around to working with either kind at the E-lab before the shutdown.
