is this aluminium tube too heavy for a 16" truss?

Im having a difficult time sourcing aluminium truss tubes for my 16" project.

In Ireland it is very very difficult to obtain aluminium tubing with less than a 1/8" (3.5mm roughly) wall thickness. Im sure this is way too thick.

Ive managed to source 1.25" tubing with a 1.63mm wall. is that too heavy for a 16" truss scope?

any books i have read on the subject recommend a wall thickness of around 1mm.
