point of such lens is provide fast zoom than kitlens. it is known that fast zoom quality is between kitlens and prime lens. you buy lens because of speed gain of 1.7 to 2 stops which is crucial for shooting in lowlight. also help with field depth isolation of subject.

kitlens quality is already very good. a bit of improvement put it to excellent level. judging from pictures, quality appear somewhere close to 45mm prime.

in agreement with others that 16-50 f2-f2.8 lens is one lens solution for people needing speed and getting quality pictures as close as primes with no need to change lenses.
