Are you doing production work or is this strictly for hobbyist/prototype
work?

I tend to think it would drive me crazy- I THINK that the number of angles
that I hold my
solder at while working is large enough that being restricted to one angle
would be a
real pain.

Perhaps a better solution would be to invest in a PCB vise?
