Actually 24-70mm or a 24-105mm would cover way more situations than a 50mm. Your kit zoom will cover more situations, but at some sacrifice to image quality.

Work with you 50mm and switch between it and the zoom. I suspect that you'll notice better IQ with the 50mm when you look at 100%. My walk-around lens is a 24-105mm f/4 IS, which has excellent IQ. I own a 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens, but almost never use it because it's too limiting. I use it when I'm shooting Milkyway shots and need a larger aperture.
