Re:Three year old post

I'm not sure why you resurrected such an old discussion.

BUT, as someone who has all three lenses (STM versions) I would say that the two lens combination is certainly superior in many ways, except for convenience - but that convenience can often be the critical factor (which is why I took the 18-135 instead of the 18-55 plus 55-250 on a recent trip).
