Philco 16 is not intimidating at all. Despite being an 11-tuber.
37-116 is indeed intimidating.
16 has good space underneath and so allows to work without major hassle. Some 16B have a tin can filter caps assembly, and this is a but inconvenient, but the one you have is not likely to have it.
All in all it is not 16 (have 4 of them, 3 restored by me) that would be my nemesis. Not even 37-116.
In fact some measly Zenith Transoceanic is way less convenient to work on.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
