The SL1 will do almost everything even better than the T1i. Better ISO, better IQ, faster. Here is a comparison for you.

The 6d has been my main camera for a few years, while I searched for the "perfect" backup crop camera.

I did use the SL1 for wildlife and was pretty pleased with the performance. But sold it, as I seldom used it.  However, I recently picked up the T6i kit, with the 55-250 STM lens.  Took it out this past weekend to try it out.  Got eagles and birds in flight and was amazed at the results.  I wasn't expecting as much.  I have been the full frame route with the 100-400 L lens, only to find it difficult to handhold and too heavy for this grandma to lug around.

The newer Rebels are amazing.  The T6 series has a more advanced sensor and better AF system.  If you are considering a new camera, you might want to look at this.
