No sir. Using good equipment makes solids almost as maintenance free. Look at it this way. You're going to need a GOOD rocker arm with a roller whether solid OR hydraulic, so it won't cost any extra money to go solid and a solid roller profile will offer a good bit more in both power and torque. Using a GOOD rocker arm will mean MAYBE valve adjustments once a year. MAYBE. Maybe not. Now, if you do a lot of racing, drop that to every six months. Still no big deal.
