Given your use case I would go for the 12-100. I have both and without pixel peeping can see nothing short of the superb sharpness that the 12-40 has. That extra reach can be really useful for landscapes and although the 40-150 pro is also super sharp you're committing to taking two lenses around with you and the 40-150 pro is not a light lens.

As for occasional indoor use the 1 stop disadvantage compared to the 12-40  is made up by the sync-IS stabilisation of the 12-100, enabling you to hand hold at lower shutter speeds so maintaining ISO (assuming the subject is static).
