I am really wanting the XTi but there is a big price difference between the two, is giong to the 10.1 MP really worth that?

10.1 mega mixels is over kill. Still, if you want that kind of resolution try the Sony Alpha with the 70-200mm lens. Better pictures, same resolution, less money.

I own an XTi and love it. I don't think more mp will matter that much. The advantage the XTi has is better focusing and better image sensor. I think that makes the extra money for the XTi a good buy. If your budget is tight, try to buy a Nikon D70. It will probably cost a little more that the XT, but should be less than the XTi. The Nikon D70 is a much better camera than the XT and will be money well spent

If I was going to buy a Rebel...it would be the newest one.
Yes, it has 10MP (which some compact cameras even have)...but it also has some very welcome improvements over the XT, such as the sensor cleaning and the better LCD etc.
The kit lens that comes with the Rebels is quite cheap and disappointing according to reviews, so expect to pay big bucks for a much better lens in the future. Unless you buy the body only and then buy a good lens (but that will definitely blow the budget).

Inless you get paid for your shots, yes, it's over kill. You're talking such a small degree of change, you may not notice it unless you are getting shots published often and are looking to up your game.
Go on line and type in "reviews for..." comparing the two cameras you are looking at, and there are shots taken you can print up and compare. The proof of what degree you are interested in achieving is up to you to decide and printing up shots is the only way to do it. Chances are, you can find shots taken with both cameras of the same scene and then you can make up your mind.
I've seen, for my own use, which is non-profesional, but still I still print up to 11 x 17, that 6 megapixals is plenty.
The cameras you mention do have differences past the mega-pixal issue and spending time on line comparing these differences will make your choice easier.
Bottom line - save your money to travel to places to take these great pictures you dream of...
