T2i (550) ----> 70D - Opinions?

I've had a T2i (550) for 3 1/2 years. The upgrade from my previous 350xt was major. Much better high ISO performance, better screen, much more pixels for cropping and a few other things that I've become used to. Video hasn't been an issue but maybe that could change.

It's now getting close to the time I would upgrade and along comes the 70D. I'm a little concerned about the extra weight but I guess I could handle that.

My main interests are still higher ISO performance and better viewfinder focusing. I may become more interested in Live View focusing (though not now) with the articulating screen. Now, I'm not comparing the 70D to the 7D or the possibility of a new 7D Mk II.

I'm comparing the 70D to what I now have.

Based on what I now have and what my priorities are, does anybody have a feel for the 550 (I guess it could go for the 600 or 650 as well) versus the new 70D?
