I'm glad it worked out for you. I so much wanted to love the 16" MBP but in clamshell mode I can hear the fan at least 80% of the time, and if I do anything at all involving the Xcode simulator the fan kicks up high enough I can't hear myself think. When open the fan's not so bad but it would fry my legs like an egg even through jeans. I look forward to going back to my old 13" which has an SD slot and MagSafe and all the rest, even though it'll feel crazy slow. The 16" is, for sure, a beast when it comes to performance, but I have found the downsides to be significant.
