If you keep the green bottles in boxes, out of the light you are fine. I have some green bottles floating around, but prefer brown. The cap issue mentioned above though might be troublesome if it happens with the 16 oz. What I would do is just check beforehand if your capper works ok with the bigger bottles. At any rate bigger bottles are really nice imo.
Got a couple of grolsh green bottles but I keep em out of the direct light. Just cause they were in the rubbermaid when I was washing and didn't feel like throwing em out.
