SL1: Smaller, lighter, 50% more pixels, newer and faster internal image processor, multi-resolution HD video, hybrid CMOS focus tracking for better focusing when shooting video.

For me, the really big, day-to-day improvement is the super easy to use touch-screen user interface, which you cannot really judge from just reading specs.

So yes, there are significant and very real improvements over your 450D. Whether or not they're important to you, only you can decide. I suggest you hold one in your hands before buying. It's a small camera and people with bigger hands don't seem to like it as much.
