I actually went through the exact same process when I started out. I got the 16-50mm with the body and immediately wanted more range but wanted to do some astrophotography as well and the 16-50 just wasn't fast enough.

I considered the 18-200 to replace the 16-50/50-200 but I rarely saw good things said about it online. So in the end for the same price as the 18-200, I picked up the Samsung 50-200 and Samyang 12mm 2.0 which is amazing for astrophotography. I recommend doing that and I don't think you will have any regrets.
