I didn't go through the details of every comment, but I agree with Invisibill. I think the 300 suits your needs more than the 250 as a baseline. Prices may be a bit off in his case though. I think your better off with a $4,000 300 with 2,000 in mods, vs a 2,000 250 and 4,000 in mods.

Youll get the larger tire and rim stock, the EFI, the split front cowl, % digital dash stock. The other parts you plan on getting (sliders, security system, heated grips, etc) are all farkles you would do on either bike anyway. And honestly most are a direct swap between the 250 and 300. The exhaust upgrade for the 250 will put you just under what a stock 300 is in terms of power. Since you don't care about performance at all, its not worth recommending a 650+. Your happy with the 250, the 300 is a jump but not huge and will basically be everything you like about the 250, but updated.

For me, I really looked into changing to EFI but aside from spending a decent chunk of money for OEM parts overseas, theres no good options. ECOtrons kit ended up being so wishy washy I wouldn't want to put the time and money into it.

Just my opinion, but hope it helps your decision. The 250 is a great bike, and I don't plan on getting rid of it. Having said that, if the 300 was available when I got my 250, I would have a 300. If the 250 was my only bike, I would get rid of it for a 300. But since I have the other bikes an upgrade isn't really needed for me.
