I would recommend skip minor upgrade like this one and get something like

70-200mm, 70-300mm, or 100-400mm L lens for APS-C, gets much better range and sharpness for wildlife and landscape.

Just my 2 cents.

Difference between II and STM is mostly design. STM motor is quite and smooth for video and AF, but it will really help you if you have a better lense like 70-200mm. I recommend IS models for all of them.
