Thinking of adding a lens

After my upcoming vacation I am going to be saving for a new lens and wanted to get some thoughts on what I am looking at. First off, I shoot a Canon T5i but may upgrade in a few months, that is yet to be decided. I like to shoot portraits, nature and macros, mostly everything I shoot is outdoors, not into sports or action but ya never know what I may get into.

I currently have the following:

Canon EFS 55-250 STM F4-5.6

Canon EFS 18-55 STM F3.5-5.6

Canon 50mm F1.8

I am looking at getting either the Canon 85mm F 1.8 or going to an L series EF 70-200 F4 L USM. I know its not the F2.8 everyone suggest, but I am not a pro, I just want to get some nice crisp sharp images. From what I am reading I should expect better images out of this lens than my 55-250, but obviously I am not getting the reach of the 250.

Any input on this would be great.
