Michael,
Understand you want something primarily for AP?
Do you have an idea on whether you'll use the camera regularly for daytime or more accurately, non AP use?
I have a 40D and just also acquired a modified 40D and I can't stop using it. It's much heavier than the xxxD or xxxxD series which are mainly poly whereas the xx and x series have some metal in the body.
We just acquired a brand new 7D here at work for AU$1400 (body only) direct from Japan. Only had it for 1 week and it blows me away for quality and function. It's ISO performance seems much better than the 40D but I can not comment on it's AP performance at the moment with its smaller pixel dimensions.
As jjj has stated, second hand would be a realistic choice too.
Good luck!
Darrin...
