I would be interested in hearing more if people think the 1600's video
quality is worse than the PVR-150.  In particular, if any actual
quantitative data can be provided beyond "it doesn't look as good".

In other words, I'm willing to kill a few cycles looking at the
register programming if someone wants to point to a quantifiable
difference in the output.
