Re: Great First telephoto lens.

My first telephoto is a Quantaray 100-300 that I got in the late '90's. It still works on my 70d, and if I stop it down a bit I can get decent images. It's slow to focus, noisy and has a max aperture of 6.7 at the long end. But it has taught me a lot and delivered nice (not stunning) images. My point being is use what you have and enjoy. And if you are looking to replace it, check out the canon refurbished store this week for great deals. I think they had the upgraded 55-250 in stock for a nominal amount.
