Default Workbench Magnifier Lamp Purchase

George Orwell wrote in message
...
I enjoy soldering and repairing electronics, both old TV's, radios, and
modern circuitboards. Unfortunately my eyesight isn't what it used to be,
my nearsightedness has gotten worse the past two years. Now I'm thinking
of buying a decent workbench magnifier lamp, like one of the Luxos.

My basic question for people who have made such a purchase, did you go for
the 3 or 5 diopter lens, which gives a magnification of 1.75x or 2.25x.
The price is pretty much the same either way and I'm sort of leaning
towards the 5 diopter. My only concern is that maybe too much

magnification
might introduce errors or distortion?
