14-45 vs 14-42II

I'd like to hear more testimonials on this lens. I'm about to sell my 14-45 in favor of getting this lens and want to make sure it's worth the change. I'm not much on testing and comparing lenses.

Seeking advice is one primary function of a forum.@
Now back to topic. I have owned 3 ea 14-45 trying to find a best sample. Now I have 2 ea 14-42 II. Both 14-42 is better than all 14-45's on sharpness corner to corner & lack of chromatic abberation. The only minor downside of the 14-42II is the max aperture reduces earlier as you zoom in.
