I had a T2i for almost a year before I upgraded to a 7D (hooray for the CLP).
The T2i is indeed a nice little camera and produced noticeably better results than the XSi I had previously (which, in turn, already had better resolution than the 40D). ...and the HD video was nice too. I dragged the T2i around in the Australian outback for a month and in the Central American jungle for a couple of weeks and it came up smiling - the little Rebels are plenty rugged (even if they are not of the main battle tank quality of the 1 series).
That said, the big improvement going from the T2i to the 7D was in responsiveness (instantaneous shutter response, quicker AF, much faster burst rate). I'm not sure how these parameters fare on the 40D, but some of them might be worse on the T2i. Worth checking before making the switch if this will be your only/primary camera body.
