I Went With the T6s / 760D

I also just upgraded from the T1i and got the T6s.

There were some things about the 80D I liked, but I chose the T6s because it fit better in my hands, was lighter in weight, lower in cost and had the features that I wanted ... touchscreen, newer autofocus and metering system, and newer 24MP sensor. The rear dial was also a feature I wanted.

No doubt the 80D is a better cam, but I spent the money I saved on a used 15-85mm, a lens that I've wanted for some time.

During my research, one poster said something that stuck, "get the cheapest camera that has all the features YOU want and spend the rest on lenses," which is pretty much what I did.
