Advice on the Fujinon XF 55-200

I'm likely going to get the Fujinon 55-200 as my next lens for the Fujifilm X-Mount since the extra reach would prove to be quite useful when covering events. I did consider the XF 50-140, but found that it was not only quite a bit over-budget but it was also larger and heavier than what I would prefer since I also plan to be using both the 55-200 and the 18-55 for travels. A Fujicron 23mm or XF 35 1.4 might be next (a Viltrox 85 looks quite affordable and good though) but that'll come much later. 

 

I've tried the one that my friend owns and I quite liked his specific copy. IQ was very good and the extra reach was very liberating. However, before I eventually pull the trigger, just wanna ask the Fuji guys if there's anything else I should know about the lens. 

 

Thanks.
