contents We introduce a technique for producing a measure coupling between two sofic groups from a family of maps between their sofic approximations. We exploit this to construct measure couplings between pairs of groups with prescribed integrability conditions. As an application we show that solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups, Lamplighters and the group SOL are all exponentially measure equivalent to one another: in particular they are L^p measure equivalent for all p. This is in sharp contrast with the fact that these groups are in general not quasi-isometric to one another: indeed, for instance the lamplighter with lamp group Z/3Z is not quasi-isometric the lamplighter with lamp group Z/2Z.
