Hi

I've got some price stats on those lenses.  These auctions are ended
auctions with buyer (Reached minimum price), from the last 3 months.  It
gives a indication on the price you would have to pay for a item on Ebay.

I think that the pricing has more to do with current demand than build
or optical quality. Like tom, I prefer the 3.5-4.5 as it is lighter and
more compact. I have used one for years as my primary lens for climbing
, backpacking, and cycle touring. I have often taken it and just one
body on trips where weight  and bulk are major considerations.
