I had a similar situation. Bought a ball from a friend who threw 15's. I assumed it was 15 also.
After plugging and drilling, it felt light. I asked mt friend and he said that it was a 14lb he had experimented with and thought I knew.
I decided to keep it, just to try out the ball and if I liked it< I would buy a 15. I liked it so much I decided to start using all 14's because my wrist and fingers didn't hurt after using it.
3 years later, I am still in 14's and not sorry at all, but it took a while to re-build my arsenal in a new weight.
If the 16's aren't causing you a problem, I might keep it to throw when the lanes are a little dry because you can throw the lighter ball harder to help with drier conditions. And besides, you can always re-sell it later yourself if you decide you don't like it. You might not get $70 like the shop can, but you will have experience with a lighter weight ball to see if it helps.
