I wouldn't bother with another Tak mount for imaging. Nice mounts but homing makes it hard to image the same target from night to night.
PME II is a good choice. I would go with a 14.5 rather than 16". That is just over kill for city imaging. In fact a good refractor would be better as you will most likely be imaging nebulae with narrowband than go for galaxies in broad band. Only the really bright galaxies can be imaged well from city lights and a big scope is really made for light collection in dark skies.
Camera, either FLI or SBIG 11,000 and up sensors. Filters either Astronomiks or Astrodons.
Spending 100000K on a rig with lots of light pollution is really not necessary. Just a waste of money really. Based on the images I have seen of your new obs at night I think there is too much sky glow for useful imaging in broad band.
