I see that trend here as well, the "good" builders seem to use better materials than then the new builders starting up

Interesting. Majority (like close to 99%) here use solid and I so prefer it. Solid has fewer call backs and lasts way longer and looks way better. Engineered is basically only used over concrete. And, yes, I get tons of people in the new nicer (i.e. Million $+ condos) calling all the time w/ issues in the engineered flooring which can not be fixed. They usually need to be completely replaced in the whol apartment.

Knew it from watch Mike Holmes bounce on kitchen floors. Didn't know that you could go further than 16" on engin. wood.

Our builders use engineered wood in our area too. It does prevent call backs.

I personally don't like a lot of deflection but also like a little give. Much of our construction is moving away from floor joists to poured concrete.
