Atik will release next month their version of Asi1600/QHY163, will be interesting to see if it will offer any improvements/advantages.

As far as I know KAF-8300 should be more sensitive than ASI1600 with the same telescope due to having larger pixels and similar QE, and files will be smaller in terms of MB, but data will be somehow under-sampled (can be rectified with drizzle to a degree).

I would personally look primarily into matching pixel size with focal length to suit my needs, and as Greg mentioned, having FW-OAG-camera as a complete package that is rock solid would be very important for me as well.
