If you are buying nx500 there is little reason not to buy a lot lens as well (it's like 50 euro difference). 16-50 pz is very fast to focus, quiet as well, with optical image stabilization and much wider on the wide end than your, and mine, 20-50. Let's face it, when using 4k on nx500 and 20-50 your widest would be ~50mm equivalent. Not very wide...

Regarding af speed, the difference between 45 and 20-50 even on NX1000 is really noticeable. In low light 45 locks with no problems quite quickly and 20-50 searches by in the end gives up. In good light 45 finds focus at least twice as fast as 20-50. It's also quiet while focusing.
