I remember desoldering the pot and adding 22 awg wires for a remotely mounted 10 turn on the Cheapowatt to be pretty easy. Hardest part was getting the thermal grease off my fingers from the disassembly of heat sinks from casing.
Much more difficult and involved on the Meanwell with a much higher price for failure. I cursed up quite the storm getting the old pot out, and the holes for the wire insertion cleared. Much less room to work and a double sided circuit board to deal with.
Gave me confidence though. My soldering skills have improved since, just keep the bernzomatic electronics lead free solder away from my iron or gun.
