However for field work they would be great, so (quick poll) how many of us fix 8-bit CPU based devices in the field??
Not me. There's not enough demand (around here at least) to justify the added expense of maintaining a mobile setup in addition to a fixed based of operations (i.e. benches). Even 15 years ago when we did do more field work we'd still generally pull the boards and bring them back to the shop rather than attempt a field repair. I can't even think of a viable way to haul the required inventory around in anything less than a box truck.
