T3i - not really that much better than original Rebel (300D)?

Re: OK so you really liked your 300D

I take it that these are what you would call the keepers, as I don't see anything wrong with these.

This maybe stating the obvious but have you tried changing the "Picture Style" page 81 of your manual.  I have a T4i  (650D) and I changed the picture style to neutral shortly after getting the camera as I found the factory preset too saturated.

As I stated before perhaps if you did use the software supplied by Canon DPP (Digital Photo Professional) in particular you could attain the images you are looking for with your T3i.  To do this you likely will have to change to shooting RAW.  RAW with jpeg is also an option if you want to stay with some jpeg.

Just some thoughts
