I was talking to my sotre rep about dumping my T2i for a 7D since I would still like to have a crop camera for the focal lenght boost they give you and since the 7D is great for those wildlife action shots like DC takes. I tried to get some shots of a Hawk last weekend and they did not tun out well because the camera could not keep focus it seemed. The D60 may be better still than the T2 in this respect and it has a better viewfinder. the T2i viewfinder is basically useless I find. To dark and small. Most of the time I can not tell if anything is in focus. It seems to be a common complaint from users.

I will try to get a pic that I know has some noise in it and see how it turns out at 11x14 or so.
A 7D would be wonderful with your 70-200mm and even better when you add a 1.4x TC.

I shot this with that set up (look at that bokeh!):
