These new ASI1600s are probably going to cause the second hand market to have a downward adjustment in prices, especially for the KAF8300 based systems (or older/lesser-spec types of CCDs). Why buy one of those if you can get something new for the same price that's as good as, or better, and faster to use? Some caveats apply, but at this particular end of the market, the pressure on 2nd hand prices will be real.
