My ear says the Meyer for overall sound. The soloist was very smooth and dark, but sounded a bit resistant, like a more classical sound.

Are they all around the same tip opening? You only mentioned the Soloist D. The V16 was good too, but you sounded like you had better control on the Meyer,

The V16 is a A6 I have had the Meyer a few years now it’s a M6.

To my ears Meyer, Soloist and Vandoren least. A pleasant difference when you moved to the Selmer from the Vandoren. I had to A-B back and forth between the Soloist and the Meyer a few times to decide.

I play an A45 and a NY Meyer #8 so the V16 can likely do what the Meyer might not do as well for other styles of music.
