Whilst the article clearly DOES sing the praises of the 170, it doesn't appear to apply those praises directly to the Solomons route except in a quote which Sumsum made when the service was launched.
Whilst it comes across as being more a profile of SAW as a whole, the article clearly points out the 170 has limitations on the direct BNE-HON services, a fact clearly conceded by SAW management, and I think even suggests a (far more appropriate) SAW 190 may see service on the sector sooner rather than later.
