Personally I'd go the ASI1600 and ride along the development path with Glen, Lee and Ray on this baby. I think they'll arrive at a good spot sooner or later. You're also using a similar scope to Ray so that will help with advice and likely results.
All the questions about which filter, what size, which filter wheel, which driver, what settings are all very topical at the moment so you'll get lots of support. You'll be part of a little club - the ASI Musketeers!
Also very short exposures really excludes the difficult part of astrophotography which is accurate tracking. It really takes the pressure off the hard bits.
Whether you go mono and used filter wheels and filters or go one shot colour is up to you but if you are ready for a step up you should go the mono as its more flexible, allows you to enter the realm of narrowband imaging.
Some of the filter wheels and filters are not that super expensive but being limited to OSC you may end up wanting to upgrade and taking a loss on the resale so you are not much better off.
