Ive got the opportunity go to Investline camera shop and test these 2 lenses.
Here's a comparison of their sizes.

I've to admit that the EF 70-200 is far away sharper than the EF-S 55-250 if you use it properly. But in the price per performance, the EF-S 55-250mm gives you the best ratio.

If you have tight budget, just buy it for practice and save for EF 70-200 series when you mastered telephoto zoom.
However, the EF-S 55-250 offer a lighter weight which is 390gram compared with the EF 70-200 ƒ4L 705gram.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm is an moody lens In My Opinion. It performs like a good boy but it also performs bad sometimes.
My comment for this EF-S 55-250mm is that it's a light weight, cheap, good entry sport lens.
It gives the best price to performance ratio.
*This lens (EF-S 55-250 ) suits the best for poor student like me, hahaha
