T31 to T51 upgrade

Need some help on upgrading to t51 from t31. My first Question is why when I use the comparison graph in Phils conclusion section of the Review does the movie/video mode show so much better with the T3i.   The t3I is supposed to have automatic focusing and uses the better STM lens in the T5i . Why such a difference?

Also the ISO in the comarison graph shows the T3i to have better ISO in low light performance?

I am considering upgrading my T3i to the T5i because I see it on sale now(I know a newer model is coming soon), and I can sell my T3i and uprade for only a couple hundred dollars. The reason I would like to upgrade is because of the Autofocus in video mode, and because of the touch screen.

Can anyone tell me if it would be worth the upgrade, and what your thoughts would be on upgrading?

I shoot a lot of landscape, family, portraits, and some video. A nocie user...............Thanks!!
