Satisfied with the 16-55?

So i have now sold my old XT-1 and the grip and have some extra money to maybe get my next lens. I have had threads about either getting the 16-55 and then sell my 18-55

I have not seen THAT many seem really happy with their 16-55, or maybe it is just my perception. I keep seeing the 18-55 comparison and that its decent enough to put people off getting the bigger heavier 16-55 instead.

I have actually not been THAT satisfied with the 18-55 but rather always use my primes. I agree as a travel lens it kicks butt with its weight, but then again, id rather get a few of those smaller primes and know id be more happy with the end result of my pictures.

So you guys out there that owns the 16-55 and maybe also the 18-55, what do you say? Is the lens worth all that money? is it in your opinion worth selling the 18-55 and get the 16-55 instead.

My other choice would be to get the 16 prime and maybe keep the 18-55 just in case But that would be my last choice.
