the other posters are right, it is hard to compare the 20 with the kit zoom.  but I can say that i had both (used on an E-Pl2) and for me the 20 outperformed the kit (at 20mm) consistently in sharpness at any aperture and in most lighting situations.  Plus it gave the advantage of the faster aperture.  Once I paired the 20 with the Oly 45, the kit zoom went into storage and never got used again -- ended up selling it with the E-Pl2 when I got the E-M10 (body only).
