I just wish they had the stargate style in a 16" (I've heard if the 18 and 20 models sell well they might look at the smaller sizes). Might have to sacrifice 2" of aperture (and quite a bit of style) and settle for the 16" standard flextube for half the price. Cheers to all.
I very much agree about the stargate in 16" or even 14" . I'd get one in a flash for a travel scope.

I have wrestled very unhappily with a friends std 16" on a number of occasions and would recommend using one for real before parting with your money My mate would agree!
