I owned a 1600MM-C for four years and never had any problems with it, a very forgiving camera for a beginner. AMP Glow is minimal compared to the 183, it really doesn't start to intrude until very long subs, and is easily calibrated out with Darks. As far as the issue of reflection is concerned, it is due to the standard camera type cover glass used when Panasonic make the sensors, and that a mono chip has a higher reflective surface than a colour chip, which would have a Bayer Matrix overlay. It is very manageable, mainly it only surfaces when you are trying to do long subs on faint objects which are very close to bright stars, for example the Horsehead Nebula and the star Alnitak. Careful composition of the shot to keep the bright object off the edge is all that is required. The 1600MM-C is still a very popular camera, and owners tend to hold onto them, which tells you something.
