Part of soloing is being able to build intensity as you go along. Speed is one way to do that. Granted, all speed from start to finish can be boring and predictable, but having good technique is worth the effort.
IMHO, choice is always better than no choice. What about the following? Does the music suffer because of the way Carlton chooses to approach his solo?

Not at all. I didn't mean to tell that it hurts, just that some people just play different ways of scale picking, and they have trouble finding the head and the tail of the piece.
I agree about the technique.
