That's kind of what I thought. Nobody who has actually instructed would say something quite so dumb as 'You should solo them between 6 to 8 hours'.
To the original poster, I've never seen anything to convince me that someone that solos early will become a better pilot than someone who takes a little more time. IMHO the whole industry puts way too much emphasis on the first solo.
