My understanding is that the original lens is the better of the two.  I
have one but don't use it much as I also have a 50-200.  I recently
purchased a E-30 that had the 14-42 with it.  I am parting with  my E-500
the 14-42 and a new 70-300 that I got for a good price for from Adorama to
my youngest son  for his 15th birthday as he showing signs of wanting a
better camera then what he has now a Kodak dx6490 another hand me down. 
This is the first time in my life that I have ever given up any of my
Olympus equipment and my with is quite astonished and was speechless for
several minutes when I told her.  It did take some convincing to get her to
believe that the 70-300 was for him and not me until I showed her what I
really wanted and that was the 90-250 and that this was for him.  I cannot
wait to see his face when I give it to him along with the new lens.  He
thinks that I don't trust him because I have not let him use it.  John
