You would have less lead inductance and perhaps reduce EMI via
unintentional radiators if you did solder direct, but I understand the
motivation.

When it comes to EMI, everything's a dipole- whether desired or not.
http://www.hottconsultants.com/tips.html has a nice series "dipoles for
dummies". I found it a helpful reference.

Best regards,
