Two big differences.
The first is that the 255 has text-to-speech. It reads street names to you instead of just saying turn left or turn right.
The second is that the 255 is a newer model, starting in the middle of 2008. The 250 has been out about 3 years. The 255 has a faster chip and better user interface, and a bunch of related improvements. For example it picks up satellite signals much faster, it can store photos, it shows speed limits, it has a next turn indicator (arrow at top left corner of navigation screen), it is compatible with optional traffic receivers, etc.
You did the right thing going with the 255.
