>BGA needs pretty serious equipment, either xray inspection or edge mirror microscope (ideally both), plus a re-balling setup in addition to a half-decent reflow oven.
This is like comparing a home etched PCB to a professional one. It might not be as reliable and easy but it's doable with just hot air and solder paste + stencil.
OP, look for Louis Rossmann's videos on youtube. He has several videos where he works on BGA's with rather minimal equipment. And don't skimp on tools, I always end up replacing the cheap tools with better ones later on once I realize how much of a headdache the cheap tools are. Louis swears by the Quick hot air station and Amscope microscope, both are relatively cheap but good quality for the money.
I have this one. Optics are fine. Don't buy the AmScope ring light, it's a piece of crap.
