I am using a 450D and am looking for the next option. 1100D was on the cards but apparently it is very difficult to do an IR cut mod due to sensor construction.

Hi brent,
as the OP is talking about a dob, i am guessing there will be a balance toward planetary rather than deep sky. plus they wanted versatility eg regular photography.
the 550d gives i think the best allround performance esp when you throw video into the mix, as it does the 1:1 pixel video crop mode at 60fps (this does not happen on the later 600d, 650d etc)

while similar results are available through BYEOS (with other model canons) you need a good computer, my lappy battled to get 14 fps when i tried 5x and my 600d...
anyway just my 2c
