Will you hear a difference? Probably not. But just glancing over their specs, I feel like the UR22 is the better unit overall. Things like the UR22's balanced outs and onboard midi vs the Solo's RCA outs and no midi stand out...
Also, note that there are two versions of the UR22: The original and the Mk II. The original is still being sold discounted mostly on Ebay, while the Mk II is the current version sold by retailers. The Mk II has slightly better specs (6dB better Dynamic range) and iPad connectivity.
In general, I've found the Steinberg drivers to be rock-solid (though I'm still on Win 8.1, so YMMV).
