Which would one prefer between acts\_as\_solr versus acts\_as\_searchable  
for  
connecting to solr? Its currently connecting via acts\_as\_searchable and  
im  
wondering if on the next app its worth upgrading to acts\_as\_solr… Are  
there  
any features or positives to either that make it overall a better  
solution?

Thoughts?
