Resolution should not be a major concern. 8MP is plenty. 10MP is more than plenty. Pretty much anything over 6MP is fine. I'm too lazy to dig up the link, but someone (David Pogue, I think) ran a test where he blew up the same picture from three different resolutions to poster size, ranging from something like 5MP to something like 10, and nobody could tell the difference.
So anyway, yeah, I'd recommend the XTi. There's way, *way* more to it than just the resolution. I used to have a Minolta A200, which was the successor to your A2, and when I bumped up to the XTi, it was like night and day. The pictures my XTi takes at ISO400 are clearer and higher quality than my A200 could take at ISO100. Hell, its ISO800 beats the A200's ISO100.
Image quality of a sub-kilobuck SLR is going to blow away even the best non-SLR right now. Resolution is meaningless.
