Are 160 x 120 pixels enough for boards?

I am interested in purchasing a thermal camera to check some pcb boards and after sifting through the internet, found this list of cameras for pcb circuit boards from which the HT-301 which has a really high resolution seems the most interesting because I could mount it on my workbench. However, it costs about 700$ and I know there are Flir models out there like the One Pro which cost much less but I don't know if they will give me the right amount of detail (160 x 120) but is around 400$. People here really seem to know their craft and I'd love to get an opinion because i can't find any of these in a retail store around to try them out at least.


Thanks!

    A more off-the-wall idea: A few years back there was a fashion for taking obsolete DSLRs, and having the IR filter milled off the sensor, making an infra-red DSLR. Maybe if these old toys were sold off (eBay?), it'd make a very high resolution IR camera (is that equivalent to "thermal"?). Obviously it'd need either manual operation or tethering to your systems - I've no idea what you mean by "some", and too much of a kludge for many environments ?.
