Congrats S_A'. That was a great deal on the T7i.
The main improvement that affected my own shooting when upgrading from the T4i to a camera with a Dual-pixel sensor (70D in my case) was the vastly improved video and live view autofocus. It literally changed how I used the camera. Those modes went from being erratic, slow, and in the case of video often impossible, to being just an absolute joy to use. I'll never buy another camera without DPAF (was so glad that the M5 mirrorless debuted with it too).
So enjoy your new camera. Pick up some more STM lenses if you haven't already (they are just awesome on these new cameras!). And happy shooting!

edit: Oops I see that you're already heavily invested in these great little lenses. I bought the 70D with the 18-135 STM kit lens and have really enjoyed its versatility as a walk-around lens. And it's just KILLER for video. R2
Thanks! Yes, when I sold my XSi I also sold my lenses, then bought STM lenses when I got the 650D. I have to say that I use the DSLR almost exclusively for planned photo shoots (which don't happen that often) since I got the Sony RX100 III. Maybe the T7i will change that back a bit
I found this Canon video about using viewfinder AF which I watched last night.
