Sooo... what's the verdict on 18-105 DX VR vs. 16-85 DX VR? Is the latter worth the money in your opinion?

I have asked that same question in the shop when I was about to buy the 16-85.
Is it really worth the extra money?
The shop assistant told me: "It is better than the 18-105 in some way, but not worth the extra money especially if you are only interested in the optical quality"
Well, I bought it anyway. And all I can say without proper testing, but just by gut instinct, the 16-85 is better on a D90/D5000 than the 18-105 - especially in the 18 to 35 range.
I have access to both lens, and my budget is limited, but I never regret spending the extra money.
Thanks Markus for the re-test!
