OK, you have now heard all the wonderful things about the ti7, but let me add this.  I just tried out both cameras at the store, with some idea of one for my mother.  I also own the SL1, so showing my bias.

The SL1/2 series is an entry level DSLR, nothing more.  But, it's claim to fame, and what it does incredibly well, is offer nice DSLR experiences at rock bottom WEIGHT.  I carry my SL1 on vacations for just that reason.  It is light and small, point and shoot size, with a great lens lineup (they are also light).  I found the ti7 to be almost the weight and size of my 6DMKII, and I don't always want to haul that one around.

So it really depends on what you are after, and what you need.  Both are excellent cameras, and both are quite capable.  Just depends on what you use your cameras for.

Good luck with your decision and your shooting - with whatever you choose!
