I would also pick T2i over T3, i've purchased bottom of the line before in cameras... I ended up getting a new camera about 3 months later because I couldn't deal with some of the poor functionality.
I like having a dial for aperture and a dial for shutter specifically and such. It's necessary to me, but if you don't shoot in manual often, that may not be as necessary.
the T2i would be the lowest I would go personally in the Canon lineup. I had the T1i, and enjoyed it, but it was lacking.
