John Connelly of the Gold Coast used to make 16s, but the lack of readily available optics has put a hold on this.

Peter Read will make you a 16 if you push, but the effort is just as much as an 18, so the price difference is marginal. You would be better off ordering an 18, or waiting for the long waited for GSO/Meade Lightbridge 16 inch telescopes at the unheard of price of $2500, if rumour is correct.
