I've only used the 1600x - Its worth it to go for the 1600x because it
has a cv to midi converter built in... maybe not needed for everyone,
but very handy.

I suspect those templates would work fine with the 1600 tho

Just bought a 1600X and I agree, it's great to use with the Desktop.  
I think the documentation that comes with the presets listed on 
www.defectiverecords.com discuss whether the 1600 will handle the 
templates but remember: Peavey still has the parts to upgrade the 
1600 to the 1600X.  I think it's about $50.

Stuzender:  I don't mean to cause you greater anxieties, but while I 
love the desktop, my choice to have it over the MEK is only because 
of finances and because I cannot have a large collection of keyboards 
right now.  For me, it's the perfect choice.  Plus, I think that 
having such a powerful synth in such a tiny box is incredibly cool.

If I wanted an EVO as my first and only synth, I'd definitely go for 
the MEK.  Reason:  once you have gotten the Desktop and a quality 
keyboard controller (and a separate control surface) you will have a 
bigger footprint than the MEK and you will have spent nearly the same 
amount of money.
