Solr or Elastic Search, which one we have to choose if we need customizablity along with scalability

Question

I am in a great confusion that which search engine I have to use for our site, azzist.com. It is a job site. We have around 30,000 professionals and 3000 employers. So not only customization of search, but also scalability is important to us. this link helped me a lot. And also I refered this SO question. But still I can't make a decision. I am still in a confusion that which part I have to compromise. As a job site, which one I have to choose? Now we are using solr. But we need to improve the search results. Please help me.

I know this question will be closed soon, but there is no place for me to ask help.

Disclaimer: I am an elasticsearch employee.

I would say only: "just give elasticsearch a try and you will probably find the answer yourself after some hours or days."

is built atop of SOLR, we tried Elastic Search at the time but ended up choosing SOLR due to it's ease of interaction with our development language and its maturity.
