Flats would always be needed, whereas something like a 1600 can be used without flats, and is easily calibrated.

Apparently the amp glow problem with the 294 has been fixed by the latest driver updates, although I think the TEC is still undersize. The 1600MC -C has been discontinued, leaving only the mono version.
I'm still leaning towards the 183MC-C or 183 mono cool at this stage. A mono 1600 is more $ and I haven't even factored in filters or accessories, which the OSC won't need.
