I feel the images I have taken with the Nikon would bear out the test findings.
Someone asked why would I want two kit lenses ? I don't, if the 18-55 WR is an upgrade of the DA AL then I would upgrade for the weather proofing.

The build quality is the highest of any kit lens I have seen, although I think the Nikon 18-55 VR may be sharper.

I was going to order an 18-55 WR version but have been told that it is the same optically as the DA-AL. I had assumed that as it came out after the DA-AL II that it was an upgrade to that lens. I am now lost as to whether the AL-II is the best option or the WR,one is better IQ wise, the other is sealed.
I have never got a K200D wet but its nice to know that if I do and have the WR version, the lens is sealed but is it worth upgrading the DA AL to the AL-II
