If you can avoid the EFS18-55 plastic lense then do - it's OK at 18mm but thats all. I have one but only use it at 18mm, I swap to a 50mm for mid stuff.
I do want an EFS17-85 ideally (but I keep looking at 5d's -

)
The 70-200 F4 L is ace outdoors, but it did not come out the bag at the NEO as it's not fast enough for indoors.
