You must be referring to the EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM ($189 +/-) and not the
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM ($649 +/-).

IQ wise the 55-250mm IS STM is much better than the 75-300mm, and has IS.

As you can see HERE the 55-250mm IS STM overall IQ compares quite well the the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM.

To get good prices visit the Canon Refurbished Lenses periodically as at times Canon offers specials on the regular refurb price.

At the time of this post you can get the 55-250mm STM IS for $129.99 (regularly $239.99).

All Canon refurbished items come with the Canon USA 1-Year Warranty.

I've purchased refurb cameras and lenses; all have performed without any issues and looked good as new.

Cheers,
Jon
