I've only looked through a 16" LB a couple of times, but having seen them in the flesh, they are very large scopes.

The LB design is supposed to make them portable, but the base on those things is absolutely huge. It certainly would be very difficult to fit it in a regular car.
I don't even think they fit through a regular doorway!
Jakob has built a new, smaller base for his 16" LB so it can at least fit through doors!

I think John's (astronut) assessment is spot on.
