In my opinion the 16-55mm's quality is embarrassing for a 1100 Euros lens. These results can be easily produced and exceeded with either the 18-55 or the 18-135.

I have a copy of all three lenses, and while my 18-55 is not much poorer than my 16-55, it is certainly not as good. My 18-135 lags a bit behind these two.

I don't understand your results.  Either you have one of the best 18-55 and the worst 16-55 lenses Fuji ever made, or something in your technique is awry, IMO.
