Should I upgrade 450D/XSi to 550D/T2i for $250?

I have a chance to do this for about $250. For those of you have made the upgrade, do you think it's worth it? I do have a 7D, which is my primary DSLR, but I like the 450D as a backup, for times when speed or low-light performance isn't critical, and occasionally when I need to have 2 lenses with me and don't want to be changing lenses all the time. I also know the comparable specifications pretty well, but I would be grateful for the opinions of those who actually have experienced the 2 cameras.

Thanks.
