Should I get M6 + 15-45 or 18-150?

Last time I went to Europe, I hauled around my 5D2, 24-105 f4, 16-35 f2.8 II, 35 f2, 50 f1.4, 70-200 f2.8, and 580EX II.  (Just thinking about it sounds crazy now.)  I've decided that I can't hack carrying all that now, so I've decided to bring M stuff only this time on my UK trip.

What I already have:

  • M3
  • M1
  • 22mm
  • 18-50
  • 11-22
  • Tamron 18-200
  • EF Adapter

I want to buy an M6 for the trip and let my sister use the M3.  I'm thinking M6 over the M5 because of the better selfie or tripod capability with the pop-up screen.  I'm looking at the CPW package deals but am not sure which lens kit to get, either the 15-45 or the 18-150.

The 15-45 seems rather limited; i have a Sony A6300 with 16-50 and even that range feels limited, so I'm wondering how use this one is.

And the 18-150 is a nice all-in-one range seems redundant given the Tamron; is it better enough in image quality to give up the extra 50mm on the long end?
