If what you are wanting to accomplish with the 16mm is quicker cutting time via a single pass it may not be worth the added expense since what you would save in time is minor on small RC parts. If you were machining thousands of a single part then of course this timesavings would be a real factor. Does it really make a difference if it takes a few extra minutes, I used to think so but Ward got me out of that thinking a while back, so now I just try for clean tool paths and do not get all that excited about optimizing for speed.
