But some larger sized posterprints I made through the years are a bit more soft than I would like them to be. Also suffering from the pixel-peeping syndrome, I am constantly reminded that the 18-200 is and always will be a compromise lens (range vs IQ).

Why are your poster prints soft? Is it the lens? Is it your technique? Do you use a solid tripod and tripod head? Do you use a remote release? Do you use mirror lock up? Do you know how to sharpen properly in processing? Do you shoot RAW? Do you use a cheap filter on the lens? Do you use a lens hood? These are just some of the things you need to consider before blaming the lens...
