Re: This is relatively easy to answer.

Assuming your lenses perform anything like the lenses PZ tested:

the 55-250 at 130mm will deliver significantly more resolution

Based on PZ, I also bought  the 55 250. My findings are similar to yours. The pictures looked flat. For that reason, I returned it. If that was just coincidence, I dont know.
