I agree for the most part. Not really an savings on the Momentum harness, but not a bad price for the Solution or the Zone. Last I checked, the solution was $70 retail and the Zone was around $100 (I think).
Not a bad discount depending on the shipping cost, but they frequently go on sale.
As far as a review goes, I've owned the Solution harness for about 2 years now. I mostly top rope in the gym, but I do a fair amount of lead climbing inside and out. It's held up to numerous whippers (including a 35 footer) and there aren't any signs of it wearing out.
This harness is definitely for sport climbing. It's fine for my 15 draw rack, but if you are a trad climber, you'd probably want something a bit more supportive. It's been comfortable to hike in around the crag, shows no signs of wear from abrasion, stays clean despite the dirt and chalk, and the belay loop, gear loops, and hard points are like new.
My only complaint is the leg loops get uncomfortable if you project for a long time. Not really a big deal, though. If you're multipitching, you're more than likely trad climbing, and you'd want a more supportive, comfortable harness (as mentioned earlier).
I've seen the Solution grow in popularity at my gym in the last year, and 3 of my climbing buddies have one. No complaints from them so far.
