T3i vs T5i what am i missing ?

I just bought a used T3i ($399) with kit lens from a reputable online retailer. before i did that of course i did some research about these two cams.. And i did a side by side comparison here on dpr... Specs wise.. It seems there i not much significant differences..same 18 MP... I am just missing the touch screen and stm kit kens of the T5i...

I am not sure it is just buyer's remorse.. But i keep thinking i might be  missing some features sticking to T3i... Of course T5i is also almost twice the price of the T3i hence i bought the used T3i instead.. I know the T3i has that digital video zoom prior to recording that has been lost on the T5i..

any thoughts? Is the STM lens worth getting or replacing the regular kit lens? Is the touch screen that much useful for videos and photos/stills Of the T5i?

(The camera is used as everyday, family parties, light weight travel camera).. Nothing serious or heavy or demanding photography..

thanks all..

Canon EOS 600D (EOS Rebel T3i / EOS Kiss X5) Canon EOS 700D (EOS Rebel T5i / EOS Kiss X7i)
