If you search for "f5 lab" (no quotes), and order the list from least expensive, you'll see (16) and two (18)s. These all seem to be the same bs, though perhaps (16) is the secret door. The fact is that I just guessed at which was the right one, choosing (18) a couple months back, and neither CDW nor F5 had any clue about how to fix the situation. Perhaps you're right about (16), but it's a crapshoot in my opinion. I'm going to try to acquire these through my fed rep unless that ultimately doesn't pan out. The rep and I are hoping he can get internal traction to try to get attention focused at F5 on the CDW problem.
