Only you can decide what is best. I just pulled the trigger in july but I was coming from a 2012 lariat and now have a 2017 platinum.
My reasons were also different as my toyhauler is 14k and up to 15.5 loaded and the 2012 did not have the true exhaust brake like your 2016 with the upgraded turbo.
Also................ I do not trade. Knowing used SD were making their way south I set price high and got 44k for my 12 with only 90 k on the truck. I think I did pretty good there. Got 18 k of my Platinum and feel better towing with the family and that has no price value.
Did not think I would enjoy all the extras as much but the heated wheel in -20 is nice!!!!
Good luck.
