Well, I use galden and the bigger oven from

I like it very much, but you have to be aware of few things:
1) The quality of is very good ( even with big inductors which I had to solder manually before), but the process is much slower.
Takes about twice the time of my previous oven ( so you end up with 9..12 minutes).
2) If you have too much paste ( e.g. too big holes in the stencil), it will not help you much. The stencil must be matched. In my design I had to make it 20% smaller then the pads ( for tqfp144 ).
But it all depends if the footprint was optimized for reflow or manual assembly.
3) You loose galden each time you drain the oven. Takes few ml each time, so you have to consider it in the bill. I might be tempted to use my 3D printer to print gas tight cover to avoid draining it after use.
I had some issues with ordinary SO14 - no connection on some pads unless I was pressing them with my button. The connection on the scope was perfect, but I had to resolder them anyway. Happened on about 8 pcs out of 100.
Still checking it - I even scratched/cut the solder, but no clue. It happened on the circuits close to edge, so next time I will setup temperature sensors on test board to be sure.
