And all I have here is a standard soldering iron (Weller TCP), a very fine pointy bit and 0.7mm Pb/Sn Hydro-X solder wire. I do have a special pair of reading glasses (made extra strong for this sort of work) and I use an additional magnifying glass to check each part once I've cleaned off the flux.

very nice sounding, Tony!! :)
The board on the photos on your site looks very clean and just from that images I wouldn’t be able to surely tell wether that was done in the reflow oven or not! 
The only thing I found harder with SMT is to modify existing designs. Leads from through hole components better allow piggybacking parts IMHO. But that shouldn’t be a reason not to go SMT.
