You don't have to separately confirm each setting change on the XTi/400D, you just half-press the shutter and you're back in shooting mode with your new setting. This alone is worth the extra money for me - Larger buffer. You can shoot 10 RAW frames at the full 3fps instead of just four, and you really only have to worry about filling the buffer in JPEG if you just flat out hold down the shutter. - 9point AF instead of 7point. I normally just keep the focus point on the center and do the focus/reframe method, but there are some times when it really does pay to use a different AF point, and when that happens, it's really nice to have those corner points.
The bigger LCD is quite a good tradeoff for the lack of a little camera-settings LCD, if you ask me. The big crisp LCD is easier to read than the little ones, and its feature where it turns off when you bring it to your face is really nice (it also means that the camera's not wasting power on the LCD when it's resting against your chest or sitting in your camera bag). But note that I've never actually used a digital SLR other than my XTi, so it's possible I'm just not enlightened.
