Ditto!! If that is the price range, I would forego 50D and look for used 40D instead. You can pick up a used 40D+Tamron 17-50F2.8 from Craiglist or local cassified.
In term of picture quality, 20D is still take a good picture. I still fond of mine 20D and my kit lens 24-105F4L. Even though I used 5D most of the time but the 20D is perfect with 70-200F2.8 for my son's T-Ball game.

T1i has the same processor as 50D and it is a great camera but mate with 17-55 will push his budget to close to 2k. Beside the price factor, this combo is probably best all around setup for daily usage.
