One more question to some of you older guys (like me).  What power
magnification do you use to be able to see the leads to solder to them?

Yeah!  Got my first 0201's a couple of days ago.

Pro: They don't take a lot of board space and their RF parameters are 
very good.
Contra: I always turn blue while soldering them (because I don't dare 
to breath when they're finally positioned on their copper dots 
(aka "pads") until the solder solidified again).
