40D vs. 50D dilemma...

I've got a bit of a dilemma.

My father has a 40D that he's willing to part with for $600. The camera probably has less than 4K clicks on it, and it's been well cared for.

I've got a broken XTI as well, with which I can get a 50D for $629 through the Canon Loyalty Program.

Do I buy the 40D from my father? Or do I say "no thanks" to dad and get the 50D?

Or do I buy the 40D, and "save" the broken XTI until Canon comes out with a newer model than the 50D in their Loyalty Program?

Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

At that price differential, I'd go for micro adjustment capability.

Agreed!

They are basically the same price, go for the 50D

I think the micro adjustment is worth the extra $

Exactly.. AF Micro adjustment is worth the extra expence.. The LCD screen is also a clincher..
