The 1160 is really a perfect choice for quad printing. 4 tones, should make 
everything easier, cheaper too I would imagine. Unless your into cool and sepia 
stuff from the same printer, then you need the 6 ink printer like the 
1280/1290.
The 1290 is probably faster, but both have and equal record as far as trouble 
free. Some are some are not. If your printing for clients perhaps 2 1160's A 
back up is nice!
Having been on this list since the beginning, I haven't seen alot of 1200 
success stories. I'm sure someone else will jump in here.
