Henry,
I picked up the AmScope SM-4T from eBAY a while back. The favorable reviews on multiple YouTube channels made the decision easy.
Still shopping for a decent CCD camera, with the added wrinkle that it be compatible with the new telescope in the CDL lab.

Second choice would be AmScope SM-4T. 7x-45x. Like $500. See youtube for reviews. Best thing it's trinocular so you can mount a CCTV camera and output to any monitor you want. So no eye strain if you do lots of work.
I second the Amscope SM-4T. I *LOVE* mine. Not a portable device, mind you, but even for through hole, it makes soldering a breeze. Jim -- RETRO Innovations, Contemporary Gear for Classic Systems www.go4retro.com store.go4retro.com
