How would you rate the HD DA 55-300mm WR vs the 50-200 in terms of IQ? Does Sigma or Tamron have anything that compares favorably to the 55-300?

After seeing these great deals I've decided to go with the Costco K-S2 bundle. Seems to be a lot of bang for the buck at $499. There's a good chance that I'll try to sell the 18-50 and upgrade to something better. Don't know about the 50-200 though, is it any good?

I appreciate the quality of prime lenses but at this point l'm more interested in a high quality wide to short tele zoom in order to simplify my kit. However that doesn't mean I won't look to add a lens or two down the road.
Having seen first hand how much better the k-s1 is compared to the k-5 (image quality wise), the only reason I'd recommend the k-5 would be because I had one to sell.
The lens would be a better long term investment, but it's possibly the wrong investment. Just to be annoying and throw an alternative point of view into the ring....

Pentax appears to offer more bang for the buck.

Looking to stay in the $500/600 range which the 2 options I'm looking at fall within. However I'd be willing to go a bit higher for a killer deal.

Hi,
I am new to this forum and looking for some input/advice. I've decided to buy my first Pentax dslr but can't decide which of these 2 options to go with. Option #1 is a new K50 with a pristine Tamron 17-50 2.8 lens, option #2 is a new Ks2 with the 18-50 WR retractable kit lens. I plan to use the camera for general purpose shooting, some low light but mainly walk around in good light. Being water resistant is not as important to me as good IQ is. Both options would be about equal in price. Thanks in advance for any opinions.
