It will save your eyes, back and neck, too. You will also easily see any small defects that you won't normally see. The other fact: an average/okay looking job under magnification will look great without it.

Also interested in purchasing a unit but what is up with that magnification? 200x? Then you can only see a single 0603 resistor. With my stereoscope I work mainly with 3x-10x magnification.
My guess is that those numbers are not the same unit.
Can someone please take and show a picture of a board with their 200x unit ?

Magnifications are phantasy numbers and absolutely not comparable to classic optical microscopes our loupes.
Look for the specified field of view (FOV) or image area. These numbers usually are correct.

That is what I implied with sitting up straight. :)
I used to do it with a smaller camera with build in 7 inch display but that still required bending down a bit causing back and neck pains. Having Fibromyalgia does not help with that either. :(

The one I received has a 1x - 150x lens, but it depends on the height of the camera what the magnification can be, this due to focus. I will take some pictures later today and post them here.
