From what I can see you need to work around the limitations of the 1600 or other cams using the same chip. You see people using often not longer than 120 second subs to avoid saturation in terms of the 12 bit output and living with bright stars having the microlens diffraction/reflection issue (Or framing to try to avoid them)
Without the reflection issue I would probably look at one as a stepping stone to mono imaging even with the 12 bit conversion, but I just can't come at the reflections myself.
In some ways I wish my SVX80 presented with ugly stars in the corners testing with my wifes full frame DLSR, it would make my APS-C versus full frame decision easy and I would lash out on an ASI2600 tomorrow.
