Is there a noticeable difference in IQ between the older and newer 55-250mm lens?

Yes. Sharper, a little less CA and maybe just a little better contrast. It's noticeable but Not night and day difference. It is a little sharper than my 70-300 USM IS lens. Vignetting is a bit heavy in the corners but software correctable. That is the main negative to this lens. And like another commenter said the bokeh isn't the greatest but in my opinion that depends more on what you are shooting and how you are shooting it. Let me say this. I wasn't very impressed with the older 55-250 that came with my 60D but I'm really impressed with this lens especially for the performance for the price even if I hadn't got it as a refurb for $120 ($109+tax) USD. Sharp, Fast and Silent!
