Thoughts on the 16" Lightbridge from any owners

I put the following questions out to any current and previous owners of Meade Lightbridge 16" Dobs. I am purely interested in the optical performance on visual observing, not the mechanical performance (mount etc).

How did the 16" LB compare to other scopes you have used?

I wouldn't mind hearing about the visual results you achieved with this aperture, in regards to planetary observations, and also DSO's.

Did this aperture allow to to expand your search with those faint fuzzies? Can you give some descriptive examples on dome of the objects you observed.

I'm trying to get a bit of a feel for what to expect in regards to the visual observing with this size, compared to smaller apertures I have owned.
