I think this is typical for a lens with this zoom range. There is no free lunch.
I avoid zooms with a ratio of more than 1:3 between the short and the long end.

That seems to me a generalization from the past that seldom holds today. The 5x 12-60 PLeica and 8x 12-100 Oly Pro are really optically excellent lenses, for example. The 10x-ish Oly 14-150, Panny 14-140 and Sony FF 24-240 are all quite good lenses.

Newer glasses and better aspherics, esp. double sided, are creating magic. ;-)
