Are you thinking that there may be issues with the mount, like stiction in the the usual teflon pads on the alt bearing (az movement is on a roller bearing according to GSO)?
Actually, on a related note, I fancy there is a bit too much flex in the uprights of my Bintel 12" Dob, I think I will brace them a bit. Maybe that is the sort of thing to wait on.

id be worried that after a few months of regular use problems may start to arise that the manufacturer didnt anticipate, mainly regarding the mechanics of such a heavy OTA riding on the mount. but you are right, GSO are good at what they do, and the 16" may turn out to be a perfect scope from the very beggining.
