lens - What improvements I could expect upgrading from Canon EF 55-250mm IS to a Canon 70 - 300mm?

I believe that I would benefit from the USM, for achieving focus quikcly as I am usually shooting moving subjects and my current lens is a bit slow.


How can I assess if the upgrade would be worthwhile? What improvements I could expect (with regard to quality of the pictures, AF, quietness, build quality....) stepping up to the 70-300 lens? Are there any downsides to consider?
