So I guess we can assume we are pretty normal for new engines on first change after 1200 mile service.
My viscosity was a little lower at 14.82 and I had no oil added before change.

Thanks for responding.
So I guess that one learning point here is that more frequent oil changes in the early life of the engine will help to flush out any manufacturing detritus and that has to be a good thing?
Looking at the high silicon value - time to check the tightness of intake trunking downstream of the air filter, and maybe the seating of the filter itself.
