It depends on the copy of the 18-55 you have. I have several of the 18-55's which I got with the kits that came with the M, M2, and M3. Two of the 18-55's are very, very good - and one of them is downright sub-par. Because of copy-to-copy variations (of any lens for that matter), your mileage may vary.

Sample variation applies to all lenses so unless you can quantify across several specimens ala Lensrentals Blog, it would not add meaningful information to a prospective buyer.  Sample variation is already accounted for in the poll. People will simply respond based on the performance of their own sample, and the responses , taken together will converge toward a general result as the number of responses increases.
