The link below is a tool where you can compare two lenses side by side.  You can change the focal length and f stop.  You can also try different lenses.  I've got it currently set on the canon 18-135 STM and your Tamron 18-270.  I've also tried it with the canon 15-85.  Both of the canon lenses blow the tamron out of the water.  Especially when used wide open.

My primary walk around lens is the 15-85.  My wife uses the 18-135 STM.  We have lenses covering 11mm through 500mm.  But these two are our most used lenses.
