Hi, after pixel peeping the 2 images, I wouldn't be happy with the 16 55, the 18 55 is sharper across the whole frame, the difference in the lower left corner is just a bit more obvious. I would expect the 16 55 to at least match the 18 55 optically, and I'm not seeing that. my 5 cents

This was the crux of my thinking - that the 16-55 should at least match or best the 18-55 optically.

I also realize that it's a wider and faster lens, and those are tangible benefits. This has been a good learning experience in terms of understanding (or beginning to understand) lens characteristics!
