The 16 tracks don't have to be recorded simultaneously.  I would usually 
record one at a time.  It's just nice to be able to maintain the 
separation and then mix the 16 tracks together in the end.  For right now, 
for me, I'm sure that 4 tracks will be great.  After all, The Beatles 
recorded Sgt. Peppers on 4 track, so you can do plenty with it.
