I'm sure others will have a more detailed list of the differences though, rather than small observations anyone could make.

Is that just that batch though, cos I am pretty sure they were both launched at the same time (whatever year the eclipse happened...)

Is the layout any different?

Slightly different layout. All the seats at the back are forward facing, unlike the Solars which have two forward and two backward facing seats at the emergency exit.
