I agree with @moocher, I do quite a bit of PCB soldering at work and have never used one of those. A decent light and a microscope is all I have ever needed.
Five hands seems excessive. I soldered up a broken Xmas toy yesterday, two hands was enough. Good lighting and magnification are important too, but they can be separate units.
