I have to say the 60-250 has a rendering that looks the most like a prime lens of any zoom I have used. I think it is the micro contrast or perhaps pixie dust but the images have a certain quality that my other zooms seem to lack but my DA Limited primes also have. I haven't done any specific tests because there are usually reasons other than ultimate IQ that lead me to pick one over the other for a certain job.
If I'm taking a zoom on a shoot I need to react quickly to changing conditions and/or I need WR. In fact having WR and not having to change lenses in an environment that WR is designed for is probably my #1 reason to bring a zoom.
If I can shoot slowly and conditions aren't harsh, I'll usually opt for smaller primes for easier carrying and great IQ. Even the A* 300/4 is pretty compact compared to the 60-250.
But I have never called a zoom a stack of primes either. Or a prime a slice of a zoom... :p
