Questions about the Ace Key

First off im thinking of getting one.Now before you scream "Get a messiah pro" my answer is and allways will be NO.Nobody in my town will install the messiah, the one guy who can tried it once and although he did get it to work, it was such a headache for him he resfuses to install the messiah anymore.Plus seeing as my last Ps2 died partially from an Origa install gone wrong im not about to take anymore risks with my second Ps2(v5,Pal), im gonna mod it myself.

So, if anybody has an Ace Key or has installed one id appreciate it if you could please answer my questions.

1.It says its basicly a no solder mod, except it can boot 80 min rips.Is this an accurate description ?.
2.It says that it boots 80min rips directly ?.I cant see how this chip (which is basicly a no-solder mod that can boot 80's) can direct boot (no swap) 80's ?.Surely only the Messiah/Magic/Neo 4 and Origa chips can do this ?.
3.If it doesnt Direct boot 80's then is it just a regular swap with an AR2/SM2 for 80's aswell ?.
4.If i dont bother connecting the one solder point needed for 80's, will if function the same as a regular no-solder mod ?.

Thanks in advance.
