I can't say for sure without reverting back to stock.
It hasn't been "weird" for me, but the rough idle in the morning has returned.
I've been working up the courage to revert back (I'd hate to go through the learning phase again if I'm wrong).
I think I'll revert tonight and report findings tomorrow... Inquiring minds n'such.

I went back to the OEM TB, I disconnected the battery and followed the Soler TB relearn process with my OEM TB to rule out learning as a pro/con.
When I compare Soler vs OEM immediately after relearn:
Soler feels better no doubt.
When I compare Soler after 2-3 weeks to my now freshly relearned OEM TB:
The OEM TB feels better.
So I suspect the OEM TB still has some learning to do and will also degrade in driveability and settle over the next couple weeks.
The remaining question is:
In a couple weeks when the OEM TB is all settled in, will it be the same as the Soler TB after it was settled in? I'll post back in a couple weeks.
As for placebo effect, I don't think it is. I think the Soler TB has a mechanical advantage over the OEM TB. I just think the GM Software is eventually outsmarting them both.
I'm going to bet the Soler TB would do well with a tune. But I'm tuning this car.
