Thanks for the thoughtful reply! There's a lot to draw on here and I really appreciate it.

One follow-up question for now; while the speed booster sounds like a pass, do you have thoughts on the speed booster specifically with the 55-250 lens? That's the one lens that I have had times I wanted to use, but the environment was just too dim.

Won't work.  Speedboosters only work with full frame lenses.  The speednooster takes the full frame image circle and squeezes it down to cover a crop sensor.  Trying to speedboost a crop lens will result in massive amounts of vignetting.  I am not sure you would even be able to mount the two together with protruding rear end of the EF-S 55-250mm.
