Most of existing comparisons were done on Solr3.x or earlier against ES. After Solr4 added those cloud concepts similar to ES's, there are really less differences. Solr is more heavier loaded and was not designed for maximize elasticity In my opinion. It's not hard to decide which way to go as long as you have a preference on better scalability or better stability & online supports.
