I believe the OIS concerns are mostly to do with the 50-200mm's OIS not functioning during video recording (or functioning so poorly that it's not even mentionable). I can confirm this on my NX500; not sure about the NX1 though.

If it's useful to you, I tested the 18-200mm against the 50-200mm on my NX500 and found it to be a bit of a wash - at the long end, both had a significant drop in sharpness and increased chromatic aberration, though the 18-200mm I tested also had centering issues. Though, its OIS worked well and the autofocus seemed faster.
