I changed to my 2600 from an ASI294 partly due to the 16 bit conversion. I like to do long exposures and expected (And confirmed more or less the first time I used it) that it would/should produce better star colour profiles.

Ignoring the 14 bit versus 16 bit question, I know the 2600 costs a lot more but if you are doing a widefield rig the 2600 has a much larger sensor. The combined pic attached is what field of view I would get using my Stellarvue SVX80 without reducer, with the sensor size of the 533 versus the 2600.
