I have a 12" LB and am thrilled with it. Remember, guys, the 16" has 218 square inches of aperture, whereas the 12" has 113 square inches - thats nearly twice more light gathering in the 16" THATS why youses will see that flag on the Moon
For me, an old codger, the 12" is the limit for carrying. I would find the 16" just too heavy and probably do myself a mischief with it
