Well, your only talking about 400ma difference. For most electronics the usual tolerance is 20%. So what that means is the 1.1amo motor can draw from 1.1amps +\- 220ma. It would greatly depend on the what the control pcb feels like dealing with. I suppose you could install the 1.6a motor and add a 1.1a fuse in the line... Thereby it could never draw more current than the original motor. That was clear as mud...
