> I received an email suggesting that my mirror is so thick that a 6-point cell will suffice.

Yes.  Sorry, I didn't have much time, and didn't look at your mirror 
dimensions.

6-points is plenty.  The number to watch is the RMS.  Anything less than 
1/200 is in safe territory.  Actually, the 16x3 has lots of safety. 
Your slightly larger diameter won't be a problem.

Run Plop for the 6-point design with your dimensions, and you will be fine.
