We had a couple of problems like this one recently...I assumed that you were aware of them, but it sounds like maybe you were/are not. I will make a separate post linking to them all.

Basically, when your midpoint is opposed by two holding points of your opponent, clearing it has very high value. Also, owning your 6pt/8pt/9pt with spares on them is very flexible because you now have spares on points that are 1 apart, 2 apart, and 3 apart, creating many point-making numbers. The anchor on your 16pt is far enough forward that it is not really being "stranded." Push it further back and you do have to start thinking about whether they're being stranded, although even then 13/9(4) is often a strong play.
