Is the STM in this better than that of the STM in the 40mm pancake for example? The review makes it sound really good... maybe hard to say, but how would it compare against the 15-85 USM? It is sounding like a reasonable longer zoom standard lens?
e.g. 17-55 f/2.8 for aperture freaks
15-85 for wide-standard
18-135STM for long-standard

The STM implementation in this lens is quite different from the 40mm pancake. It indeed is "better". The reason for different motor systems is due to the space in the pancake.
