Thank you all!
My conclusion: it doesn't worth to change from 450D to 40D.
Now, how about from 450D to 550D. I would like 7D but the budget is limited. I will use the same lens, Sigma 24-70 .
I think the 550D is more affordable. I hope I will sell the 450D kit at a good price <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />.

1. AF, seems a bit more accurate with the 550D.
2. The LCD screen is gorgeous, a big step up from the 450D.
3. Big jump in high ISO noise profile.
4. Sophisticated movie mode.
Those are the mayor differences, in my opinion.
Minus points compared to 40D/50D:
1. xxD has a more sturdy build, with a 2nd wheel on the back. Although I do prefer the compactness of the xxxD series, but that is personal.
2. 550D is slower in continuous shooting (frames per second).
3. 50D has a more advanced AF system (all cross sensors at each AF point) (40D too I think, but the 40D is not as good as the 50D in the AF stakes).
4. xxD has a bigger brighter view finder
5. 50D offers AF micro adjust, to reign in unruly non-calibrated lenses
