It will be a step up from the 55-250 for sure. Renting is a good option so you can give it a try and see if you are ok with the handling & weight; it's significant compared to the 55-250 (I have both). Also be aware that version I is a push-pull zoom rather than twist. Some people don't like it; I don't mind it at all. There is a locking feature so you can lock it into place. The locking feature can be used to make the push-pull action completely free, or you can tighten it up so it still travels with moderate action from your hand.
Eventually I'll upgrade to the II or possibly one of the 3rd party 150-600 zooms.

Fair enough, yes I noticed the massive weight difference with the 70-200 and my 55-250 and I think I could get used to the push-pull zoom but there is only one way to find out, I'm glad to know there is a lock feature too. Thank you for all of your help!
Happy Snapping!
