Yes a soldering iron can damage componants, but worse than that is static electricity.
the risk factor MPC3000 talks about is too true, it's why I don;t like to work on other people's gear that much unless I am very sure I can handle it. I go commando on my shyt.
but if you're cheap and good with a soldering iron, get that memory upgrade, but if you get weird problems it'll be harder to test if it's the memory than with the plug in board. I would go for a perfboard plug in board sooner than doing the direct to chip steez.
I feel you on resale price stuff too, but the 60 can drop as well, but certainly not as fast as new products since the people who always sweat the new stuff only hang around as long as it's new.
Having full memory will push the resale value up, but not by much. I know I love the 60 so I keep it running as best as I can. I know it better than any other machine here except the one's I built, and it has completely revolutionized the way I make music since the day I got it.
$100 to double your memory? it's a no brainer.
