Time for an upgrade

My current camera is a Rebel XS. While I absolutely love it, it's not without a fair share of problems. I'm at a point where I can finally get an upgrade but I'm torn between several cameras. After all, specs only show so much. What I'm looking to overcome is:

1) Better low light performance. The XS sucks is low light. Everything gets a green or blue tint to it, everything is blurred, and the amount of noise is unbearable. I want something that will snap "decent" shots in low light situations (i.e. music shows in small venues).

2) Better performance in silhouette type situations. When the sun is behind my subject, all I'll get is a black subject with the XS.

3) Better color range. My XS gives me many blue pixels when editing in raw mode thanks to being unable to detect the shadows properly. It kills an otherwise awesome picture because it has to be edited too much to fix it. It also doesn't capture the true colors of the subject.

I've been looking at specs for the T5i and SL1 but I'm open to ideas. If nothing will fix the above, I'll just stick with my XS.
