Yeah, I've jokingly referred to the 9-18 as more of a binary lens than a zoom because I do the same thing. For wide angle, I'm at 9. For walking around doing general shooting, I'm at 18. The number of shots taken between the two extremes are almost zilch. If they could make an 8 or 9mm prime that wasn't a fisheye, I suppose I'd rather have that because I almost always use this for wide angle. I'd done some walking around with it at 18, particularly while traveling, but ordinarily, I'd just stick one of the pancakes (14, 17, or 20) on in that situation.I looked back on my previous shots with the 9-18mm and found that I ended up using it mostly at either end of the spectrum at either 9mm or 18mm.
Still a good lens and for me it made more sense than the 7-14, although I love the wide end and would probably really enjoy that 2mm difference...
