If I remember most people have not unlocked their 1600's. According to Soul Edge, however, he has. But, most of the OC's I have seen from the chip have been at the stock multi. If you are considering going with this chip, do not let that be too much of a turn off. This chip is great, even though it does not come with the unlocking option the T-Bred does.
I already ordered the chip =) if most people have not unlocked their 1600's then
