to_poly_solve can only handle equations in polynomials and radicals, while solve can handle a somewhat wider range of equations. I guess one could invent heuristics -- e.g. try to_poly_solve first and if it can't find anything then try solve. Of course such heuristics could be applied within solve itself (and there are already some in place to handle different kinds of equations). If you 'd like to press for modify solve to call to_poly_solve, then I'll encourage you to take it up on the Maxima mailing list.
