I would likely recommend the T3i as well, it's a little more sturdy feeling and shoots a little better, and the price isn't too much more. I remember holding the T2i for the first time and thinking (when i got my T1i way back when) damn, this thing feels a million times better then what i just bought 2 weeks ago.
but again, watch out for what lens comes with these cameras, you might be better off buying the body only and a different lens, or trying to find a different kit lens then the base one.
