For the 55-250 you need to do the Canon lens corrections, especially the chromatic aberration correction. Then you should find the performance much closer.

The 70-200 also performs extremely poorly at 55mm.

Canon Ef-s 55-250 stm is a much better lens than you give it credit for.

Chromatic aberration correction won't do much for the performance of this lens at all.
