I got it wrong. 

It wasn't Solex who said that but John Howell in his seminal article on Carbs for Vintage Racing Cars in the VSCC Bulletin back in the mid 80's. Argue with him at your peril Steve! 
SU's are undoubtedly easier to tune - merely polish a needle on the rolling road. That's the appeal. With a Solex you need jets and chokes to swap around.

Hopefully these extracts are readable.
