The only difference between these two 55-250mm lenses are the finish. Optically and mechanically they are the same, just like EF-S 18-55 IS and 18-55 IS II.

Not according to the results here.: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=456&Camera=474&Sample=0&FLI=5&API=3&LensComp=777&CameraComp=474&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=5&APIComp=3

I see modest improvements in center sharpness, at various focal length / aperture combos; and MASSIVE improvements in corner sharpness everywhere.
