Have you ever soldered something that small? If you have not, consider practicing on something far less costly. Hand soldering surface mount parts takes more than tools, it takes experience (well, and skill too!). I have built some headphone amps and such and can honestly say that working on sm was rather difficult. The pins are really close and one tiny drop of solder can easily bridge connections.
If you really want to do it, grab a 5x maginifier for working through, then a 10x to check your connections. It's a rush when it works, but a pain in the ass if your hand moves too far one way loaded with solder....!
