thanks Peter
The reports on build quality seem to be generally good.
Download time was a concerning factor
On the G1600 22 sec s was reported on the Moravian site. Oddly although FLI claimed a quick downloads I couldn't find an exact time in seconds anywhere to compare!
Thanks Clive This was a question that has been in my mind
the 9000
Pros Slightly better QE
quicker download
.96"/pixel with Planewave (against .72"/pixel with 16803 a little oversampled)
minimally cheaper
Cons
Less Pixels
RBI - residual bulk image or ghosting I have read is more prominent with 9000 Anyone seen this ?
The best explanation of this and NIR to counteract it is on the Moravian site at

SO I guess it was the fear of RBI which led me to the 16803 Is the slightly better QE enough to go the other way??
