Next logical body upgrade from 400D?

Any opinions on what upgrade (if any) would be a logical upgrade from my 400D?

What I seek ultimately, is better ISO/low-light performance (less grain at 800 & 1600). Options like live view mode and video capturing are welcomed additions. I don't care about megapixels... all of today's cameras have more than I need.

Will this better ISO performance that I seek be achieved with a newer camera? I am looking at the following cameras but can't decide because they all have the same Digic Processor (7D is exception, dual digic but most expensive)... for comparison sake the 5D Mark II has a single Digic Processor... but based on cost, the 5D isn't a contender for me.

Is there a significant image quality differences and ISO performances between

400D
60D
600D
1100D

7D (low on list based on price, but still in contention if I can be convinced it is worth it)

My current Glass:
24-70L f/2.8
17-50 f/2.8 - Tamron
50mm 1.8

70-300 Sigma (holding me over for a few years until I can upgrade to 70-200L f2.8 IS)
