What exactly do you claim is going to change in that engine that has not already changed at 1200 miles that will prevent further oil burning?
Your problem is patience. Give it 5k miles and you'll see (and I'm 100% sure, unless you oil starve the engine) oil consumption will no longer be this "issue" you are concerned about.

And NO, I'm not being sarcastic or trying to pick a fight. Flame me if you want, but the majority, 99.99%, of all oil consumption "issues" are not problems but normal usage because of ring seating.

Again.... if you missed that.... give it some more time!
