Doing an inventory allowed me to learn how to identify the parts. In some cases, there were parts that did not exactly match the description in the manual, but by process of elimination I was able to tell what those parts were during the inventory. It also made the actual build much more relaxing, since I didn't have to paw through piles of parts over and over to find the next one.
It turns out I did have a missing part, anyhow. Finding that out before soldering saved me from a whole lot of looking at the board with an OptiVisor trying to find out if I soldered the missing part in the wrong place. But that's just me. I'd probably do an inventory in any case, because I like being (overly?) organized during a build.
