The "Solution" is supposed to be a permanent fix, which is obviously cheaper if you keep the car for a long time.
I have purchased one, but my plan is to use the ball bearing version on the one I'm rebuilding now, and using the Solution for the next one which gets the Nickies treatment.
After researching them in depth, I believe I understand the options, including the Solution. If cost were no object, I would choose the Solution, based on respect for JFP's full-throated endorsement and for Jake Raby's technical prowess. But Raby also designed the ceramic-hybrid Retrofit, my second choice. At the very least, did you not find the excerpts I quoted from LN Engineering's website cause for thoughtful reflection? One would assume LN knows what they're talking about, don't you agree?
