PSX2 v1 mod advice needed

I have a v1 PSX2 and want to mod it. I've looked up many guides, comparison charts, ect., and it looks like my options are Messiah2 1.33b, DMS3 ModChip Version 2, or buying a new pre-mod. I have several questions before I continue on with the process, and these boards seem the best place to get answers. :D

1) Is there any benefit to upgrading to a new (v8-v10) system?

1a) If so, does anyone have some links to reputable stores for pre-mod systems?

1b) If not, which mod would be the better choice? Links to reputable stores woud be good here too.

2) I've read somewhere that you should NOT use a cold solder gun/iron on the board. Using one would make the process much quicker (and safer for my extremities :eek: ). Any suggestions?

3) Anyone have any confidence building techniques before setting solder to board? My hands start to shake when I think I'll be with out my PS2.

Thanks in advance.
 
I would personally not even bother to get your v1 PS2 modded. Most mod installers do not touch anything pre v4

Where abouts are you located in the world ? I might be able to recommend some reliable pre-mod sellers :)

I live in the US. Joliet, Illinois to be more exact. We used to have some decent pre-mod sellers less than a block from me, but there isn't much a market here for imports so they had to close their doors. :(
