Hopefully due to how close it is, we'd be able to get clearer data from it? Or quicker data at least.
1600 light years away isn't much of a concern, it's gravitational pull isn't going to be brining us in at the same speed or anything. We'd be long gone as a solar system before we even interact on any gravitational level.
