Just putting this out there because the 17mm is generally pretty expensive, tho you seem to be getting a good deal on a refurb. Having that and the tele would definitely be more versatile than the Sony kits, although the Sony lens in the first kit would be the best portrait lens in the bunch.

Please note: he is getting the 17mm f 2.8 not f 1.8

I actually liked the images I got from the original 17mm f 2.8 pancake with my E-P1.  But, it is not a current design (i.e. not MSC), focuses pretty slowly, and is not worth very much on the used market.  The 17mm f 1.8 is a much better lens and is "pretty expensive".
