I've only used the 23 f2 out of the f2 lenses, but the 16-55 is a superb lens and performs excellently even wide open, so I think in image quality terms you can certainly use them interchangeably.

However, they're like chalk and cheese in just about every other respect, so a lot will depend on your shooting style. I really like the 16-55 but there's no way you can use it if you want to be unobtrusive - it's a beast.
