My advice would be to get yourself into a T2i at the very minimum. Very close in cost to those you list (esp used). Much better features, much better sensor.

I'd go one step further and say T3i or later, for the articulated monitor and wireless flash mastering, both of which can be very useful for creative macro.

Another thing to think about... if you're using the viewfinder (rather than Live View) to focus a with a lens like the MP-E 65, you want the biggest and brightest one you can get. That's 5D and 6D territory, but for something lower cost a used 50D, 60D, 70D, or 7D is worth considering. Try to compare a few different bodies and see if it's worth going for one of those.
