I don't see why the 1611 shouldn't be fine.
Unless 3D TV is important toy you, have you considered the 1910. This can be had for bargain prices ATM; I suspect similar to the 1611. Even though it's HDMI 1.3 as opposed to the HDMI 1.4 of the 1911/1611, you would still be able to connect a 3D blueray player that had dual HDMI outs ---- one for audio and one for video as are being made by Panasonic. If 3D TV is important to you, then the 1611/1911 will give you full 3D BR player choice.
