I have that same Amscope setup, but without the camera monocular. Working distance is key for an inspection/soldering scope; the more the better.
The ring LED is not strong enough. Go with the fiber light, though the potentiometer crapped out on mine and I had to replace it. It’s not UL listed either.
Can take decent pictures just holding a camera up to the eyepiece, through lose about 1/2 the field of view.
You can get fiber LED, but those are $1500 themselves.
