Depends on what you're wanting it for. I have the SH 6-24 and it's longer than the 4-16 by almost 1" but only about 1/2oz heavier., and they're both fairly heavy. The 6-24 has nice glass. The new EPLs are a step up with ED glass. I've the EPL 6-24 and EP5. The EPL 6-24 is lighter than the SH by close to a pound, and sharper glass.. The EP 5 is a big honker, the same length as the SH 6-24 and a bit heavier with that 56mm bell, also brighter and has beautiful sharp ED glass. They're all a good deal. Wait time is the only downside.
