Well, an MSRP of 900$ translates to 700$ on the streets. That's not too bad actually but surely not cheaps. The MTFs look good for such a lens.
The 40-150 ED is somewhat more disappointing actually - it is (physically) longer than its FT cousin ...

Samples at Olympus Asia. Doesn't look so good to me.
The Olympus MTF is at 20 and 60 lines/mm... how do you compare that to Canon for example, who use 10 and 30 lines/mm? Is there a line pairs doubling I'm overlooking? Or are they really testing at a higher frequency?
