News to me. In what way are multi-layer ceramic caps and
soldering irons incompatible ?

Really, before I got my pick and place machine, I hand-soldered about 25,000
..1uF 0805 capacitors. NEVER ONCE had a bad one. I still hand-solder a fair
number of low production boards and prototypes, and have never seen a
problem with MLCCs.
