How to solve the NEX7 lens dilemma?

I have both the NEX7 and the camera of the year, the Olympus OMD. I use the NEX7 but seldom use the Olympus. The Sony delivers good results with the kit 18-55 lens but I would like a better quality lens with a wider and longer zoom, something like 16-80.

The dilemma is this: stick with E mount but be limited in choice and quality or 1. Get the EA2 adapter and buy a good Sony zoom or 2. Get the recent Metabones auto focus Canon adapter to use my collection of those lenses?

Metabones adapter is expensive and AF doesn't work with most Canon zoom lenses, eg 24-105, 16-35, 8-15, 17-40, 70-300L, that I have. AF works with 70-200 F4is. The others will work using manual focus. Same goes for my macro lenses.

Sony EA2 adapter is also expensive and additional lenses would have to be purchased, like the 16-50 or 16-80. AF is fast but this is a bulkier and more expensive option. If size gets too big I might as well use my Canon dslrs.

It would be valuable to hear how others have solved the NEX dilemma. Has anyone kept the 18-200 E lens as their walk around lens?
