huh? why hard to compare???

When you want any FL other than 20mm the zoom will excel! When you want a fast aperture at 20mm the 20/1.7 will excel.

At 20mm and f5.6, both lenses will produce good photos, but when you zoom in to 100% you will notice that the 20 is a little sharper.

If you really want a faster aperture, the 20 will be one good option. FWIW, I love the Oly 25 & 45. If I were to get another fast prime, it would be the Oly 17, but that is based on FL and feature set. Others love the 20mm FL.
