The 16-55mm lens, a full-frame 24-84mm equivalent, has always been a popular lens on crop frame camera bodies.
This version II is a bit smaller and significantly lighter than Mark I version of this lens. Optically it appears very similar to its predecessor. So far I haven't heard a strong reason why you would upgrade over the original.
And it's not a cheap lens as it's being sold at $1200 USD presently.
