"I think I'd be fairly happy with 1600 miles"
I would be disappointed with only 1600 miles - tires are too expensive. I get at least double this on my GP 4000's.
I will never be able to make a big comparison between GP 4000's and all the other tires on your list because I see absolutely no need to buy anything other than GP 4000's anymore. Great tires and very durable. I have had only 1 flat in the last 10,000 miles on them and this was a valve stem flat on an older tube.
