That's basically equivalent to what I wrote. I just added an additional (technically superfluous) 1x to the final declaration. The problem, as I noted, is that it means you're duplicating the "1600.jpg" url, which is a minor editting hazard. This kind of "solution" also only works in this specific case, when you're only dealing with two densities and no art direction. ~TJ
