This may not be all that helpful, but have you looked at edismax? https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1553
It allows the full Solr query syntax while preserving the goodness of dismax. This is standard equipment on 3.1, which is being released even as we speak, and I also know it's being used in production situations. If going to 3.1 is not an option, I know people have applied that patch to 1.4.1, but haven't done it myself.
