Switch from T4i with 10-22 to NEX-6 with 10-18?

I will be traveling in Turkey and Greece for 7 weeks and I'm considering switching from my T4i setup to an NEX-6 setup.

I've traveled to Ecuador and the Galapagos with the T4i and the 10-22 along with my 70-300. It was really great and worked very well for the photos that I wanted to capture. Size and weight, however, were not a great concern as this trip was entirely guided and only 12 days. In Turkey and Greece, we will be gone for many weeks and it will not be guided, so lots of buses, planes, ferries, etc. I'm a bit conflicted about making a switch to the NEX-6, as it would be purely for weight, but also size/bulk reduction. We will travel with a single "carry-on" bag over our backs.

I really like the 10-22 so will need the equivalent 10-18 for the Sony, but I do wish the Sony had a little more focal range. Has anyone made this switch and can you tell me what you thought? I'm mostly concerned about the UWA since I'm quite happy with what I have (other than size/weight). And I see that the 10-18 has a reputation for being decentered, which does't make this easier...

Thanks for any insight.
