Also, not sure where you plan to buy, but the best prices I have seen anywhere were always on Amazon.

I might be just messing around with 'em and making a decision, but yeah the purchase would likely be online. I'll just have the time to do it in the evenings while up there.
I think one of the things that's a nice feature on the D5100 is the sliding switch that changes from still shots to video. It's more convenient than twisting the mode dial on the T3i.
