The price difference between the two lenses is very small if buying a lens alone. I was expecting a close performance even without the IS on the 75-300mm. Is it still not worth buying the lens in a kit (cheaply) if I can't find the 55-250mm?

No.

For what it's worth, multiple places have the 600D with the 18-55 / 55-250 combination - although you'd get things cheaper by buying the 600D with the 18-55 and then adding on the 55-250 separately. The 650D's availability is more limited due to the fact it's been discontinued in favour of the 700D, but it still exists out there if you really want it.

(For avoidance of doubt, I have no affiliation with Camera Price Buster. I just think it's an amazingly useful site).
