I think the sweet spot of size, value, weight, reach and IQ is a 70D and 55-250STM.

I would agree that the 55-250STM is a great deal at $299. But in a point for point shootout - the IQ is quite a bit off the mark compared to the 70-300L. Honestly, I would consider it were it not for the fact that its an EF-S lens. I'm planning on using it with a Metabones EF-MTF Speedbooster adapter which will only work with EF Mount lenses (plus I'm planning on keeping my full frame body so having a lens that works with both is preferable)
