beat me to it pyaap!!!

Most commercial soldering is done with a bath\wash, and not a monkey with a soldering iron.

If done properly soldering is ok, but its the risk such as damaging the track, overheating the pins on the IC, damaging the board if the IC have to be pryed out, poor solder joints, electro-static discharge that put me off soldering if other options are availiable.
