The video is ultimately the key here, if you want video (and it takes amazing video), go for the T1i.
The LCd screen on the T1i is also very very nice. It gives a much better representation on the image you just took. Useful if you want to get the depth of field just right.
The new processor will help with low light/night imaging and process you shot faster.
I have the XSi but i would recommend going for the T1i. The features are much nicer and if you need the extra zoom in the future, you can pick up a lense second hand.

I stand corrected on that one lens, I didn't read down far enough in the fine print to see that the 18-55 with the XSI is stabilized. I guess that would make the decision a little tougher but still think the upgrade in MP, LCD, and Processor especially make the T1i the better bet IMO. Oh yeah, and the HD video is nice too I'm sure, but I bought an HD camcorder and my Rebel is a couple of years old and doesn't do video at all so I can't really comment other than to say that, for me, the audio quality isn't really that critical anyway, having that beautiful 1080p picture makes up for audio quibbles. The camcorder I bought does 1080p60 video at a bargain price but doesn't allow hookup of an external mike. I wouldn't dream of going the other way now that I've had it for awhile. If it was that important, you could pick up a standalone mike and recorder and mix it on the computer anyway.
