Thank you so much for the replies so far.

Yeah, the budget is tight, so would have to sell the XF90 F2 if I want to purchase a "travel zoom" such as the 17-70 or 16-80.

I can sell the XF90 for US$500, and the Samyang 12mm for around US$200.
The XF16-80 F4 is US$740 parallel imported, and the 17-70 F2 is US$800. 
Used XF16-55 F2.8 are regularly listed here for around US$700, some for less.

All prices are converted to USD, from the local market price using current exchange rates. I can't just return a new lens if I don't like it tho, so have to be committed to the purchase

Based on feedback so far, it seems like I should look at saving money & time and stick with the XF18-55 as the primary travel zoom, with a prime for low-light photos.
