Reflowing sounds a bit tricky.
Hand-soldering SMT isn't bad, unless its the real teensy-tiny SMT.
I'd say it's easier than flipping the board over while soldering
through-hole. It is harder to layout one-sided however: You can run
half a dozen traces under a through-hole resistor, but only one under
a SMT resistor.
I agree 100% here...I actually find through-hole soldering to be
more difficult and tedious than SMT now. All but the very tiniest
SMT parts can be soldered with a quality iron.
