We have a bunch of clients using solr as well. In general it is more
powerful then sphinx but a lot slower to reindex and querey. Also it
uses 50 times the memory of sphinx. If you have a box or vm to put
SOLR on by itself then it is a good option as well. but if sphinx can
do everything you need from a a search indexer then it is a way better
option cost wise.
