How do you define "value"?

Tough question.

Generally I'm not in favour of power zoom lenses. Hard to control and waste of battery.
It is difficult to compare both lenses because they cover different focal lengths.
For general use I would say the 14-42mm may be more suitable since it covers 28-84mm in 35mm equiv.
If you're into telephoto shots such as sports or nature then you may also need the 45-175mm telephoto zoom (90-350mm in 35mm equiv).
If budget is no constraint and you want more flexibility and versatility then get both.
Just my 2 cents.
