ran 8+8 been running 2 weeks now am happy
the 8+8 is more as you said to keep under the inverters max volt situation

but am curious now as to like you others saying if one string is 8 then the other should be 8 to keep the two strings at similar voltages (or as mentioned same voltages) but some have stated point this string in this direction and that one in another , well that would put them making different voltages at different times
so if I was keeping in my max voltages I still don't see why I couldn't have run different amounts of panels per strings
not that im going to change what I have
and thanks for the reply
