Re: T7i or 80D? (both with 18-135 nano USM lens)

Welcome!

You can't make this kind of decision by checking specs and reading reviews. You have to use your wisdom, and that comes from experiencing each camera - how it feels in your hands, how it looks through the viewfinders, what emotional response you get when you press the shutter buttons...

So go to a store and handle them both. If you're interested in particular features, read the relevant manuals before you get there and try them out. Then go away and sleep on it. One will feel right compared to the other, that's the right choice.

Having said that, if size and weight isn't a killer and you're serious about photography, you will grow to appreciate the features of a (pre-77D) nnD camera that mean you can get more better photos in challenging situations, such as the bigger brighter viewfinder, deeper buffer, AF MA, direct controls for EC and focus point selection, bigger battery and grip.

P.S. now that someone has answered, you should get a lot more answers. Funny how that works.
