I found that the tables are only a little tighter @ 50NL, but the biggest difference is player quality post flop.
With a $2200 BR? If you made all of that in only a few months at $25NL, then I dont see how you arent skilled enough to play $50NL. If you lose $250, you still have $2000 left, try playing like 1-5k hands, your bankroll can handle a drop of a few buyins. Id say if you only played one session at $50NL you dont know all that much about how you will do there, in one session there is a lot of weight on luck. I think a big part of it could be you waiting so long to move up. If you put such a mental barrier between the two limits, it is going to hurt you. If you play in sets of say 4 tables, try 2 $25 and 2 $50 tables and see how that goes. Currently Im playing the $25NL over at absolute after a switch from SNGs, and when I hit $500 I was planning on going up to $50NL and moving down if I drop 5 buyins, now I am starting to second guess this seeing that bankrolls some of you are at still waiting to move up.

Edit: Now Im thinking about waiting for my BR to hit the $1k mark before taking the dive into $50NL
