I bought the 14-54mm last year and replaced it with the 12-60 earlier
this year, mainly because I wanted the additional range, especially
at the wide end. Other than the additional mm, I do not see a
significant quality difference between the two lenses--both are
excellent. So if you do not care about the 12 vs. 14mm, save your money.
