Chas,
I think what you are finding is what you did not expect. Many folks do not agree that an absorbtion fridge is better than a RR. Many think the RR is better with the correct setup. Yes. Depending on how you use it and setup to use it, an absorbtion is better than an RR. Now you say that solar is too complex. I do not get that you would rather pay out the nose for an absorbtion and gas retrofit, vs a solar install. Yes there is a fee up front but so is your gas retrofit. It is no more complicated and there are a number of folks here that will be glad to help you understand solar. Solar, just like gas is a set and forget, but without the gas line may be less dangerous.
Your mind is as made up as everyone else. Maybe it is because you see it from your perspective. I know, "Ya think."
Try over at the link below. There are several that bought with RR installed, a few that are happy that they changed to an RR (including battery upgrade) and some that intend to make the change, still.

Now, I am not saying that an absorbtion is not the right choice for you. I am saying that your OP stated an issue that is not wholely accepted by the community and there are some really smart cookies posting their knowledge on this thread.
Good luck.
