I have the 10-18 EFS that I use on the adapter. I'm not too worried about the size of the lens, I wont be capturing people really, just things we se on our journeys. I was just thinking the f1.4 would produce a sharper less noisy image, unless you think IS with a longer exposure time would do all the same.

The Sigma 16mm is 6mm shorter than your EF-S 10-18mm on its adapter and 50g heavier, so there's not a lot in it for size.  I don't have either of those lenses, but I changed from the EF-S 10-22mm to the EF-M 11-22mm mainly for the size, and in poor light I get better images from that 11-22mm than from the 22mm f/2 hand held (as long as I don't need to stop movement), because the increased depth of field from f/2 to f/5.6 keeps more of the subject in focus.  The 16mm might be a better lens for people in the image though, but it's too big for me to consider on EOS M, and it's not available in RF mount.
