Agreed, the Solo has been phenomenally successful, it seems to be very long lasting, plenty of pre 2004 examples in service and going strong, ironically its long lasting build quality may actually be dampening down demand for replacements, New Solos versus old!!

The Cummins engined ones just seem to go and go, the Mercedes powered ones however accelerate like a snail. I believe there was some MAN engined ones, however they are few and far between, don't believe they had a habit of being very reliable either.
