Michael,

I would go with the 27 awg, or even thicker.  This is because you
plan to use more than 630 watts.  If you will use 1200 watts, then
the coil should maybe be larger, such as 6" by 26" or similar.
especially if you plan to use a low breakrate.  the 1500 or 1600
turns is a good idea to use.  you may want to use maybe number
26 or 25 wire if this will give you 1500 to 1600 turns on a 26" tall
form,  something like that I would say.
