Have you seen this Wrotniak's lens comparison He compares those two lenses under identical conditions and shows a lot of samples.

My personal opinion is that within its range you will be hard put to tell the difference between the 14-54 and the 12-60, however the 12-60 might be worth it for the extra reach but only you can decide how important the last £300 is to you.

I have the 12-60, and am well pleased but as I only got it about 10 days ago I am still feeling my way.

Edit: Note that the 12-60 is big enough to throw a shadow when using the pop up flash - this might be a dealbreaker if you do not have one of the external flash units

Yes I have seen the Wrotniak comparison and as you say there is not a huge difference between the two lenses. However, the more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards the 12-60 being a better legacy lens. Decisions, decisions!!

Mind you, it's still an interesting question, i.e. at what point will the number of pixels on a sensor outstrip the quality of a lens? I suspect that the 12-60 would quite happily cope with a lot more than 10mp. After all, as David pointed out, the 14-54 was fine moving from the 5mp E1 sensor to the 10mp E3 and would probably go much further. Probably
