I’d have to say it’s a pretty solid explanation!

Quick summary for anyone in a hurry.

Solid Lifter - Better for higher RPM, isn’t as limited when it comes to lift - better for race cars.
Hydraulic Lifter - The much better choice for a daily driver. More reliable, quieter and “self adjusting”. Valve float occurs earlier than with solid lifter, more limited when it comes to amount of lift.

Personally I’m always going to run hydraulic unless i get the money to build a race car then I’d use a solid cam
