They are both versatile cameras with their pros and cons. The 1600 is the larger sensor, so consider the types of targets you’re interested in and simulate how they fit in your FOV with planetarium software.

Longer subs wouldn't phase me, I've been taking at least 5 min subs as of late since upgrading to a guided set up. Also, later down the track if I were to upgrade my gear with a new scope I'd like to imagine I'd be looking into getting something like a RASA.
I prefer the idea of a narrower FOV, also I'm a bit of a sucker for higher resolution images allowing me to zoom in and really explore the detail.
Are there any inherent issues with the 183 that you've heard of?
