Pentax 16-45 vs Pentax 16-85

Hi,

Anyone has compared these two lenses over their common range?

I own the 16-45 ( and I love it ) but am interested in the 16-85 for its longer range & WR.

Also, how much did you pay for it ? Price tag seems steep to me as it costs circa CAD $ 730 + tx in Canada. Not easy to find it used either....while the 16 -45 is frequently offered at less than $ 200 USD.

Thanks!
