too cheap to let go of, I would keep it for portraits and when you have a need for it.

The 45-150 is OK for outdoor portraits but rather slow for indoor portraits.

it is fine for both settings, perhaps you want to use a strobe or flash indoors, but it should be ok with enough light.

I've used the 45-150mm at a few concerts successfully (Carnegie Hall, Metropolitan Opera, random choral concerts in churches), by bumping the ISO a bit. It wasn't perfect, but, surprisingly, quite serviceable.
