The solid steps are not for me. There are too many places where I wouldn't be able to get in, like at the storage yard or at a gas station. Virtually every gas stop someone needs to get in for some reason. We can just climb in without pulling the steps out. Tough to do with solid steps. And there's the whole clean up thing. I know it isn't a huge deal, but it's just one more thing to deal with. I have enough things to deal with already.
I do plan on getting the Torklift steps though. My wife has a funky hip & I can get the Torklift with an additional step.
