How much maginification is good for SMD soldering?

Hi everyone!
I just bought this
http://www.velleman.eu/products/view/?id=380108
magnification glass and I like it but the first thing I tried was to solder with it... obviously... But when doing so I came across a problem and is that I have too keep the magnifiying glass to close to my PCB and its annoying to work with the soldering iron.
So I wonder if I made the right choice by taking the 5 dioptre (2.25x) one instead of the 3 dioptre (1.75X) what do you guys think?
Anyone has experience on this, I usually don't use magnifying glasses to solder and obviously is not good for my sight.
Thanks!

Thanks I'll take a look at it. I've read a bit and they say 53mm is decent working distance?? I have nothing to argue about then, with mine is like 70mm.
Thanks!
