Personally I think for WA lenses the IS or VR is more desirable on zoom lenses than on prime lenses.

Uhmm... why. 24mm is 24mm, whether it is a prime or a zoom lens. If you want 24mm with IS, a zoom lens is not more desirable. Primes have one big advantage: size and weight. Having a compact, light lens with IS does have its charm.
