Bad assumption.  To get higher accuracy you need a lot more than higher 
resolution.  To get 16 bit accuracy you need to get your noise, sensor 
accuracy, reference voltage and probably power supply stability to better 
than 1 part in 65536.  This is a non trivial exercise.

If you can define what you actually need a little better perhaps an easier 
approach can be suggested.  For instance do you really need to cover the 
full 0-80 or perhaps a subrange? would a log scale work?
