The 4040 has a peak QE of 74% and although it’s well depths aren’t quite as deep it requires 4-6x less exposure time to become read noise limited giving it a significantly higher dynamic range.

Ah yes. The Optcorp site shows it incorrectly as 58% QE.
Yes a gain but my FLI ML16 has 6 electron read noise. I am not sure where the read noise shows it head in images as 16803 even at its higher read noise is hardly described as noisy. Its very clean especially using the slower digitisation rates.
The backside models seem more interesting. Sony has been selling backside illuminated sensors for their's others' cameras for a few years now.
My Sony A7r3 has less than 1.5 electron read noise, unknown QE but probably around 60% despite a Bayer filter array and its 42.4mp. But unless you can get a mono version of it I can't see it competing with the 16803 at this stage.
