Alternatively, consider just saving your v1.6 characters for when v1.8 comes out, they might still be importable to that version. Also, If you intend to continue playing Solo, then there's no strong reason to switch to v1.7 until you get bored of what you're currently enjoying, v1.7 is just intended to be the realm version.
One of the themes of v1.7 is starting over (collect character builds rather than items), so it might be beneficial to start from scratch so you don't miss any early-game features (e.g. the Gidbinn quest reward for Norm or NM, or the ReturnTomb from under Tristram in Norm).
Brevan, thank you as well for the informative reply, much appreciated

Give the bold text above, I'll run a few characters (or at least 1) through 1.6 and explore what I can.
Cheers!
