You don't specify in what way you are not satisfied. That makes it sort
of tough to respond, which may be why no one who actually has either or
both of these lenses has done so?
The only directly comparable tests of the 14-45 vs. 14-54 lenses is at
photozone <http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/index.html>.
As you can see, any differences in MTF and CA are just tiny. The 14-54
is just a bit sharper at F4 than the 14-45 at f3.5, but the difference
is very small and they are identical at smaller apertures.
Again, CA in the more expensive lens is better, but not by much and at a
very low level in both.
Unless your problem is in linear distortion at the wide end, you need
more speed, or you will just feel better with the better build quality
and weight, you may find yourself disappointed if you trade up.
