Re: Small Gem Kit lens for M 4/3 - Mega OIS the same?

I know the review primarily compares the optical performance of the 14-45 and latest 14-42 lenses (which is the most critical aspect) but is the Mega OIS any better or worse?  Given that it is the same basic technology on both lenses, I'd assume that it is the same.  I'm just curious if this is the case.

Incidentally, when I got my G5, I bought it with the 14-42 Mk II as it was the cheapest way of getting the body.  (I already had the 14-45).  I wanted to sell the lens on Ebay as brand new so only took a few test shots to make sure that it worked.  I took some comparative shots with the 14-45 and was surprised how well it performed.  In hindsight, maybe I should have kept the 14-42 - it only sold for about £40!
