The example was a LQFP 144-pins.

Done it before - no, but I have worked with SMT such as 18-pins SOIC
(1.27 mm) and 24 pin SSOP (0.65mm), so nearly but fewer pins

Done it in the basement / last 2 years - SMT - yes, 0.5mm pitch - no

Set up to do it in the basement - yes, but not set up well, lack ideal
magnification

Would I buy one - most likely, cost/timing dependent

Would actually do it in a reasonable amount of time - 50-80%
