1. I like a wider end - preferring the 24 MM equivalent on the wide end.

Me too when its not whacked out with blurry edges - the 18-55s I`ve used have been decentered , I`d hate to think what the hit rate on a 16-50 would be even if the edges are any good to begin with .

2. I've become spoiled with IS/OIS/VR/VC (or whatever other terms various manufacturers use). I like the convenience of this feature - big time.

Me too again so long as it works well and doesn`t compromise the optics . I thought I`d throw in the 20-50 as an option due its size and prime beating wide end (also I`ve never seen a dud one and I`ve used 5 or 6 both Mk1s and Mk2s) I`d rather live without the IS than have a lens like the 18-55 , hopefully Sammy's sample variation has improved on the budget IS lenses dramatically in the 16-50 .
