At What Point is a Solid Cam Better Than a Hydraulic Cam??

I obviously know the difference between a solid and a hydraulic cam. I was just wondering at what point for a non-race car does it make sense to switch to a solid cam? Or does it for mostly the street and maybe a little strip? I am talking non-rollers here, and small block. I run a Comp XE268 with Comp hydraulic flat tappets, and I am very happy with it.

You can alwaystell the racers and want to be racers , solid cam. But real world folks of daily drivers would say pick one and others would say hydraulic. Point is even with hydraulic you will get near same performance, seat of the pants little difference, equal sound equal exhaust. So you decide based on what you wish to have and enjoy it.
