Superior in what way? Image quality, NO.
Image quality is a loose term - there are over 40 factors affecting IQ and over a dozen+ related to the lens. I've heard many complaints about the 16-80 "gold ring" nano-coated DX lens as I was thinking of getting one myself (might be folks who just got a bad copy)- the 24-70mm is a better lens overall IMHO - constant 2.8 and an FX lens so it has an upgrade path for FF, not that I care much for the 24-70 either (big,heavy, limited zoom range, not wide enough for DX), but it is a favorite with wedding photographers being an FX lens helps too. But, interested to hear more opinions on the 16-80 vs 24-70.

I have been very pleasantly impressed with the 16-80. I have achieved excellent results with mine on the D 500
