I appreciate all the input guys.

Hey guy's thanks for all the info. joedrum, If I may ask a novice question here; what's the issue with the 1200 wheel? Bad alloy, poor machine work, occlusions in the aluminum, all of the above? I like the idea of having a wider tire selection with the 16" 1100 wheel. Just wondering, other...
