Yes, there's an overwhelming victory for the "wish-list" lenses, the 16-80 and 70-300 G, but there's another combo in second place, the 11-18 and 18-250, covering a much wider range with two lenses at a little slower aperture, and they're both far less expensive than the 16-80 or 70-300 G.
Yes, with the A700 the 18-250mm and 11-18mm are my current favorite travel combo. I also carry a 50mm f1.7, but a 35mm f2 would be better since 50mm is too long for general use on APS-C. While the cost of the 16-80mm and 70-300mm are not major factors for me, the size, weight, and many lens changes are what keeps me from getting them.
