I should also note that the smaller size and less extension during zooming of the 14-42 ii don't really hold any benefit for me. I never found the 14-45 too large or heavy

14-45mm for me, a better performer and the two I've had never had any problems with colour and contrast, quite the opposite. I found the 14-42mm II to be poor on the long end, noticeably so, maybe I got a bad one. It was very sharp at the wide end but faded badly. No such problems with the 14-45mm, great lens, consistent all the way through.
