Your 550D modded, you say IR, do you mean full spectrum?

The cooled mono is obviously a very capable camera. The filters are not cheap... especially the narrow band ones. I think one of those is worth more than my whole DSLR.

If you have the money and want to be thrown in the deep end first, go with the ASI1600. Especially if you live in an area of heavy light pollution.

If you want to start more gently and not spend much at this time, the DSLR will get you into deep sky imaging. Kind of depends on how you want to do it.
