Keep sl1 or 7D

I have been given the opportunity to purchase a like new &d for $450.

I currently own an SL1 and am far from even using that to the fullest. I do shoot completely on manual to learn as much as I can. I have been doing so for the last 6 months and I am finally "getting it" so to speak.

I have found a slightly used and yes I would have to say like new 7D for $450. I am torn between keeping my SL1 and "upgrading" to the 7D. I realize it's much bigger and heavier but don't really know if I would even notice the difference in picture quality. I rarely use my cameras for video. Occasionally I will shoot a 2-5 minute video of our travels.

The 7D could probably be a camera I will never need to upgrade but I must say I am please with the SL1 and am getting pretty proficient in using it.

I guess my question is should I keep the SL1 or sell it and upgrade to the 7D for $150? Do you think the 7D will be a long term hold and I tyhink it's a good deal but what do you guys think?

Thanks so much in advance!
