Are de-kitted lenses more prone to sample variation?

Re: Are de-kitted lenses more prone to sample variation?

I bought mine set (gx7 & 14-140) as one of the cheapest offers of new kits I found. I only checked the seller's references. 14-140 turned out to be more sharp than I expected. Maybe I was just lucky. If you won't be able to test the lens during return period the purchase of box and de-kitted will be risky. You have only olympus bodies so why not oly 14-150 instead?

BTW how did you recognize de-centered lens, what were the symptoms?
