Your copies maybe. The 55-250 was a good lens for it's time but in a back to back comparison It doesn't hold a sharpness advantage if you compare multiple copies of each. I was positive that the 18-150 was better than the 55-200. Only after taking photos of the moon at the same focal length did I realize my copy of the 55-200 was better than my 18-150.The EF-S 55-250 IS STM is much sharper, has more reach, a wider aperature and a closer mfd.
I tried both and the EF-S was better by far. Weight and size is more, but it is still compact.
Another advantage is, that I could use it on a R camera as well, if I once would exchange my M6II.
