Drawbacks to solid tires are numerous:

Difficult installation
Heavy
Low shock absorption
Lower traction

They've been discussed repeatedly on the forum, and never in a positive light from my recollection.
Specialized Armadillo, Bontrager Hardcase, Schwalbe Marathon Plus, Continental Ultra Gatorskin and Panaracer Pasella TG are all much better options for flat reduction.
