One feature the kit lens does have that the brick lacked is optical image stabilization. I find that more useful than the big lens's faster aperture. When I'm shooting in low light I might have my exposure as slow as 1/30 second all the way to 1/4 second. IS makes the 1/30 sec shots fairly reliable and the faster ones still worthwhile.
