Personally, I prefer to get 800 merits in the same amount of time (2 of my runs plus one gag shop = about 22 minutes) that it takes others to do a full run, because of the additional merits - and the fact that in a full solo you HAVE to restock or take hits.

My way the only hits are if/when lure misses, on a full solo you either have to take a certain route to hit the restocks at just the right time, or you have to backtrack to get them. No thanks. I only do full runs if I cant get into an invasion district. I took my duck (third sell key) from HW21 to HW50 in a matter of about 2 1/2 weeks of about 3 or 4 hours a night. Was MUCH less painless than the mouse (second key) who did long run solos and went from 44 to 50 in almost the same amount of time.
