I have the 16-50, and my daughter has the 16-85, so I've played with both. The 16-85 is very nice. I really like it, but I would not trade my 16-50 in on one already owning it. The extra speed does come into play, and sometimes it really is the difference between unobtrusive, e.g. no flash, indoor shots at whatever the gathering is. If you want the DoF control for a portrait at the long end or the flower shot etc., you have it too. Since you mention portraits and weddings, I'd be looking to add a DA* 50-135 to the kit, not swapping out the 16-50 for a 16-85. Also, by the time you stop the 16-50 down to where the 16-85 starts, you're on par for sharpness. You still have purple fringing to clean up in post, but otherwise, it is a nice lens that can yield great results. The 16-50 and 50-135 really does make a great combo to grab and go.
