Hi Brad.
You will love it! So much light you will see things the VC200L couldn't show you. I have used briefly a collapsable at a star party and it seemed a good scope.
Weight tho is a factor and you said:
" I was going to put some heavy duty wheels or castors on the base to roll it in and out the sliding doors."
This is a very good idea.
We had a Saxon 8" Dob, tho not the collapsible so a bit more weight. Although one person could lift scope and base together, it was awkward and, you didn't want to carry it far. The 16" will be a bit of a nuisance in this regard but if you can solve that problem for transporting it to dark sky sites or star parties etc. then, you will have made a good move in buying it.
I don't think you will regret the purchase and all that light.
