A PCB supplier propose paladium finish. The statement is that we get a
surface as good as gold finish (for SMD) without the problem of Nickel
plating.
Also manual soldering requires some extra flux because the tip does not get
good heat contact with the pads.

What are the pros and cons of paladium finish ?
