I would love to know what everyone else thinks, is it worth upgrading to the 100-400?

Or should I rent it and give it a try?

Or should I keep the 55-250 and spend more time practising?

Thanks!

Yes, yes and yes and consider the Canon 400 mm F5.6L.  It has a longer minimum focus distance and no IS.  But it is lighter than the 100-400's, relatively fast focusing and is super sharp wide open.  New I believe it's around $1400.  Can be had used for $800 or so.  This lens has served me well for over 10 years.

Good luck and good shooting.
