laugh about shooting on cliff. do not worry, you not have to shoot on edge of cliff to get field of view on open area. I not know what concern of shot you need 16mm or how wide you need. 2mm additional is good, but must ask question if you need it that much or not. personally, I would get 12mm because of significant difference of field view over 18mm. very tight space, 2mm is not that big as 6mm difference. just sharing my view.

To be pedantic, it's technically a 3mm difference between 16mm and 18mm equivalent when you take the crop factor into account. 16mm being 24mm equivalent and 18mm being 27mm. So that's why the 12mm has such a huge difference in field of view, it's equivalent to 18mm on full frame, 9mm wider than the widest setting on the 18-55.
