I spent some time last week doing a bunch of 0.8mm pitch 32 pin LQFP.  This was my very first SMD job, and it really wasnt even 
close to as bad as i was expecting.  3 out of 3 units worked first time (ie 100% sucess on first attempt - 96pins at 0.8mm pitch)

144 pins at 0.5mm pitch would not put me off, however, i do understand that i may be a minority from the current user pool.
