I have no experience with NB imaging so I trust what you say Ray. However the CMOS chips with very low read noise also have very low full well capacity, so I think that is more important for going deep and getting mag20+ objects.

EDIT: I forgot about anti-blooming so there probably is no difference - plus dynamic range = full well / read noise, which for the ASI 1600 is 20,000/3.8 and the 16200 is 60,000/10 slightly better.
