Those lenses won't necessarily give you any benefits other than the IS. But I don't have any experience with them. Just that it's difficult to make a zuper zoom lens at a low price point so there's compromises there.

You're doing fine with the SL1 so far. The 80D should give you better results but there's a learning curve due to the more advanced AF system.

Personally, I'd go for the 80D. The 55-250 STM is a decent lens also, so that's a bonus. You lose 50mm compared to the 70-300mm lens you have, but you also have more megapixels to be able to crop more.

I thought the refurbished kit at 50% off new was a great deal especially with the addition of the IS lens since the 300mm i have now isnt the greatest.  My only reservation is that it the body weighs twice as much as the SL1...
