I'm trying to choose between the IS II version and the IS STM one.

But the price gap is wider. The price for an used (like new) IS II is $75 compared with $130 for a refurbished IS STM lens.

Is the price difference right? Would I get almost double the quality with the STM lens? I would probably use it mostly for photography.

Even if IQ is the same STM version is a little bit quicker and doesn't have rotating front element.

130$ is peanuts in this realm.
