Totally agree with this. In general anything with a zoom ratio of over 3x(ish) will start to suffer as it is basically impossible to optimise lens performance across such a range. So you end up with something that is good enough across the range, smaller ratios tend to mean better quality (within a similar price) and primes are even better.
