The USM lens worth $300 on top of the 18-55?

Close. 18-55 STM is ~$250 retail, the 18-135 USM is ~$600.

I already have the 18-55, but that can stay on my current body. 80D seems heavy with the 18-135 and I heard it's IQ is lower than the shorter kit zoom?

(a) I think you heard wrong, or maybe compared to the earlier 18-135 models rather than the latest USM version

or (b) doesn't matter since as good as the 18-55 STM is, it's IQ is really awful at 56-135mm
