Thankyou to you all who offered their thoughts and opinions on the 16" LB and Argo Navis. After spending the last few day taking every bit of advice on board, I've decided on a challenge, and I plan to build a 16" Dobsonian. I'm up for a challenge!
Gary, I will still contact you soon regarding what you can offer in regards to Argo Navis and accompanying encoders. This will be important when it comes time to build the mount.
Again, thanks to everyone, the friendly and helpful advice is what makes IIS so enjoyable to use. I think back 20 years ago when I built my 6" Newtonian, I used a "How-to-build-a-telescope" - type book (green cover with a sillouette of a Newt on an EQ mount on the cover). This is all I had.
