Would it be worth going from the Panasonic 14-42mm kit lens to the 14-140mm f3.5 for $200 extra?

If it is the 14-42 M1, simple answer, yes.

Otherwise, the answer would be mixed.

As some members' good opinion, 14-140 M2 offering the excellent convenience, IQ at least as good as the combo of 14-42 M2 or 14-45 & 45-150 or 45-175, but relatively lighter and smaller (1 lens vs 2 lenses combo). It would be justified to upgrade.

But if changing lenses would not be a burden but joy to you, and assume you already have that 45-150~175 coverage, that saving might invest in something else.
