A telling factor having finally looked up a KAF8300 camera that I know a lot of people use (QSI683) is that it has 25Ke wells, and 16 bit conversion. In fact when you look at the QSI spec page, only 3 out of 17 models listed have pixel wells which cant be quantified at least 1 to 1.
Look at the gain factor.

The value of electrons in the well is merely multiplied by the gain to produce a 16-bit number.
