IMHO there is a trade off - Solo has increased productivity, but at the cost of lower Quality

Talking about productivity without quality is like living in the communist era. In those times (in Romania at least), people were always talking about how productive the country was, and how great the leader was. Unfortunately, the quality was almost always very low. So... increased productivity with lower quality is no productivity at all.
