I think operators choose the Solo because its a proven bus, Been around since 1998 whilst the Streetlites have been around since 2010.
Early wheel forward Streetlites that went on demonstration received mixed views from operators ) some very bad, some good )
Also a 5 speed Allison with hold gears will definatly beat a Non Kickdown Voith Diwa6 on very Rural routes, Which is where most Solos work.
EDIT : and more capable.
