OK, why the 16-85 over the 18-135? The other choices were based, at least in part, on size, which is in favour of the 18-135. Do you want the extra 2mm at the wide end and/or you don't need the extra reach?

I'm guessing yes to both <g>

That one is strictly trip dependent--we're taking a xmas markets river cruise, so I don't anticipate the need for the extra telephoto range, whereas the 2mm on the wide end can be nice for street scenes and building interiors. In the case of my specific copies, the 16-85 (subjectively) produces just a touch better images, so between those two it's always a close choice.
