I say GO FOR IT!
The 40D is a solid performer, and will deliver great AF performance, especially when used with USM lenses.
I recently made the same upgrade, involving the same decision: What do I need, and what do I want. I found that I didn't need 15MP, and sure, a VGA screen looks nice, but I would never pay >$400 just for the 5 MP and screen. It just doesn't make sense to me.
So I got the 40D. It is an amazing camera - You'll have a lot of fun with it.
Can the 40D do Live View with zoomed in manual focus? That might actually be handy in some situations. Myself, I'd lean to the 40D for my own purposes and the price. Though, I certainly wouldn't mind a 50d [:)]

Crap. I really blew it buying the 30d exactly when I did... [:(] If I only knew, I would have waited.
Does the 30D have live view, without the magnifier for MF?
It does not. For all I can tell, it's a 20D with an extra 10 d's...
