The difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless is the auto focus. This is important for action but the auto focus of the entry level DSLR are not that hot.
What about the entry level model of a mirrorless like a Nex 3N or a GF7. For the rest of your budget you could buy a extra lens like the 50/1.8 for Nex or the 20/1.7 for m43. They are not the best lenses in the world but I use for example the 50/1.8 very often because the blur(bokeh) looks so good. I printed 75x50 cm photos which was very detailed. Yes there are lenses which are a little bit sharper but do you print that big? You see lenses are very important, not only the camera.
You have different demands like size, performance, flexibility and price. You should be careful not to over weight one.
And believe me your camera will be outdated in 2-3 years so it makes not so much sense to invest to much money in a 'higher' model. But you will still takes beautiful images if learn the the art of image composing. So maybe a non technical photo book would be a good investment.
