I mean I said look at dithering modes, I didn't necessarily mean dither it ;)

Leave the 32 bit undithered for your master and then dither the 16 bit export finally, happy with that?

To clear up here's some kind of objective view on dithering

"Apply dither any time you reduce bit depth. If you’re reducing to 24 bits, the type and strength of dither almost don’t matter. If you’re reducing to 16 bits (or less), a low to medium dither level with some noise shaping is probably best."
