I have both of them. In my experience the 16-85 is much better. Especially in day light condition. Also 45mm is the extreme on the 16-45 where its the sweet spot on the 16-85. The constant f-4 in my opinion is a marginal advantage. Also the 16-45 has only 6 aperture blades while the 16-85 has 9 if I'm not mistaken that's so much better when you shoot into the sun or other light sources. Its extremely flare resistant too and the out of focus area are much smoother.
However people complain about the wobbly built 16-45 I found out its more forgiving when dropped...... But that's an entirely different issue on my part.
