Good price from RS.
Go for it. I've just got the 2700 and very impressed. The 1600 will be very similar I'm sure...maybe weaker in the bass and less connections.
Yamaha have long been known for building quality soundbars and they continually get good reviews and don't rest on their laurals and continually improve.
Not so fussed about the bass as I don't want to annoy the neighbours haha. The connections aren't an issue for me either as I'll be using the ARC HDMI connection from my TVs One Connect Box. Hovering over the buy button now...
