16" vs 12"

i know, i know. aperture rules. But tell me, is 16" over 12" a significantly noticeable step up in detail you can resolve on dso's?

If it is, i don't mind buying the 16" but if the 12" was almost there....well it is only 50% the price, or even 33% the price if I bought a conventional 12" dob.

i don't mind the extra weight of the 16" lb, i guess i am just after reassurance that it is such a step above the 12" that it is worth getting.

on another note, i ordered a cheapy EQ1 today to do some widefield stuff, which i think should perk my interest in it a bit more rather than the whole eq6/align thing - can't imagine you need a super accurate 'drift' align for a 16-35mm lens!
