Slightly less good at 18mm. Less vignetting, but also less sharp at the edges. It seems that there is some field curvature at that FL. But who buy's a 10-18mm for the long end .... Center sharpness btw is good straight from wide open.

I guess the people who own the 18-55STM lens are an important group of potential buyers, for them having a good top end of the range is important. After all, 14-18mm is probably used more often than 10-14mm (which requires a lot of experience and is less suitable for many subjects).

I use the 15-85 now and I would like to know if the 10-18 lens has better corner quality around 15mm, because that is far from ideal with my 15-85 and most of my shots are at 15-18mm (nominal). If the 10-18 is at least as good in the overlapping range - which I doubt based on the images I have seen - I am tempted to buy the 10-18 and ditch my 15-85 for the much smaller/lighter 18-55STM

or maybe a little more versatile system with the 18-135mm STM and still lighter than the 15-85mm?
