So little of an upgrade, that the price is hardly worth it.
Your best bet, if looking at new-ish bikes, would be to buy a used 250.
Just to be clear though. The EX250 is carbie based on a old motor. The EX300 is EFI and completely new. Ride them back to back and you'll see. The EX300 is a brilliant bike.
The power is good through the whole rev range thanks to the parallel twin motor. It holds power all the way to redline. Smooth delivery too.
