All of what you stated is true, except for the fact that a higher solids paint won't necessarily have a higher viscosity (has to do with the molecular weight of the resin when they mfr. it). Lower solids coatings are a little more forgiving in the fact that they tend to "orange peel" less thatn higher solids. higher solids paints (and clears) also have a tendency to dry slower, because of the lower molecular weight.
