Question: Canon Rebel XSI vs!. XTI vs!. XT !? and then!.!. Nikon D80 vs D60 !?

- I'm just moving up from a point and shoot
- I have no lenses, strobes, or anything!.
- budget of 900 dollars!.
- considering the older/lower end models because I could use the money saved for lenses and strobes
- the camera (and at least one lens) must be bought before september
- there's not going to be a decision between nikon and canon until I've felt both in my hands, so please none of this "Well, nikon makes you smell better!" stuff
