IMO, a big seller for Canon would be a version of the SL2 with all the capability of the T7i. Then there would be a budget SL2 and say an upscale SL2i, say the SL2i. The SL2i would be priced the same as the T7i. I would gladly pay $750 for an upscale SL2.

Too many models already! Part of the problem is Canon has too many APSC models already. Just among the 24MP DPAF they now have 4 models. I'm not even sure how many more they have with other chip tech. I say 3 models max. Basically a low end model SL2/T7i. mid level 77D and High end 80D. That is enough. They should concentrate on making these models as complete as possible in their respective product niche.

More product refinement and less product expansion.

I have a hard time seeing why the 77D exists.  It makes more sense to me for an upscale SL2 to exist than it.  That way Canon would have the entry level buyer covered and sell a substantial number of SL2i bodies to the more advanced users who are looking for a small kit to carry around in addition to their FF gear/lenses.  Or for those advanced users that aren't looking to go mirrrorless and deal with a whole new lens mount and/or different brand.
