Welcome to ACL. Sounds like a good start to me. I think the F16v3 is a better choice than the F48. You can expand it if needed. Lots of people use xSchedule instead of Pi and FPP. I prefer FPP myself. The Pi isn't a requirement to get started

Awesome thanks just want to make sure I’m heading in the right direction, testing waters with 50ct then planning on expanding

Another option is the Falcon F4v3, which is my favorite. You can get the F4v3, differential expansion and two receivers for about the same cost as the F16v3. This would get you 4 outputs on the F4v3 and 4 outputs on both receivers. All outputs capable of 1,000+ pixels. The controller should fit the layout of the display. Some controllers work better than others depending on your layout.

Hey Dan and Juny.
I work for a big IT company that was based in Westboro and then Hopkington.
I do get to go there every couple of years for training purposes.
When I get over there for my next trip it would be great to catch up. I normally stay in either Webo or Milford
