Tamron 18-250 versus kit supplied lenses.

I read with interest the article on the 18-250mm Tamron lens in the latest issue of the magazine.
However how does this one single lens compare with the two kit lenses supplied with the Alpha. There seemed to be quite a few cons as well as positives. I suppose this is only to be expected with such a compromise lens.
I am interested as I am a long time bad back sufferer and any reduction in weight along with and improvement in quality would be welcome.
I have to say I have not had any complaints with the two kit lenses, for my type of photography and plenty of people see my pictures in club and folio work. I don't over push them in size usually printing up to around 15" longest side.
