"The XC 15-45 images are looking good."

You've answered your own question.  Optically at the wide end there is agreement it is as good as the wide primes.  Unless you are very unhappy with the longer end images (and do look at your images, not reviews) then keep it.

The real weakness of the Fuji system is the "standard" zooms.  They all have drawbacks and no one is a clear winner.  I spent ages debating 16-50, 18-55, 16-55 and found it difficult to decide.  I think I chose wrongly.  The 15-45 and 16-80 have made the choice harder!
