One of many appealing features of the SRK is driver comfort.......EZ ingress/egress, upright sitting position (hopefully ergo seats), and the driver sits fairly high for good visibility, but also will make my yellow SRK more visible in everyday traffic.

How about flying a big American flag for visibility? Lots of bikers do it. Who would hit an American Flag?

Yes the SRK (if they ever get around to designing the enclosure panels) does have the edge over the Solo (just my very limited opinion!): The vantage position is higher with a relatively good overview so that traffic ahead can be assessed; the independent front wheel drive is a very relevant safety aspect, enabling a much `sportier´ ride; a passenger can be carried if necessaary (or a considerable amount of equipment ,and servicing should be easier than on the Solo as ground clearance does not look to be so much of a problem and the wheels are more accessible.
My local choice, the Swiss Tremoila is not yet ready (just like the SRK & the Solo!) and is certainly not exactly what I am looking for: either three wheels with two at the front and front wheel drive or four wheels and a better designed cabin.

I like the Swiss Tremola, but it doesn't check as many boxes as the SRK in my driving situation. However, I see where it may better fit your needs.
The SRK is an almost perfect match to my needs and preference. I am leaning towards soft sides rather than panels (because I could leave them off but have them available for the unexpected thunderstorm), but I want to see both before I decide. Actually I would go without sides but my wife thinks differently. Second best would be an e-car like Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt, but I won't look at those as long as I think Arcimoto can deliver.
Interesting to see how convenient on/off will be for both the soft and hard panels.
On/Off side panels AND (preferably) On/Off hardtop!
