As I'm upgrading due to age, rather than anything esle, and the only contstaint I have found with the 500D is the number of RAW shots in a row before it stumbles, I don't feel like I will be settling for 2nd best with the 760D

Canon say the max. burst of the 500D is 9 at 3.4/s (page 214 of the manual), but the 760D is only 7 at 5/s (page 404), so while the 760D is faster it's buffer is actually shallower.

This may be true - although it depends on your definition of shallower as the files are going to be bigger with the 760D.

It also depends on your usage of RAW bursts - if 3 frames a second is fast enough then the burst size can be much larger. And even at full speed you can take multiple full speed bursts with just a couple of seconds in between for the buffer to clear.

I must admit that I tend to shoot action with highest quality JPEG where the buffer size is not really an issue.
