Welcome to the forum. I assume you mean the Canon 7D, there is no 70D in Canon's line up.

The 7D is higher level camera than the 'Rebel' models like the T3i. It's actually two steps higher, the 60D being right in the middle between the two.

To give you a proper recommendation, we would need to know what it is you will (or plan to) shoot most often. The 7D is a very good sports/action camera because of it's advanced auto focus system. It's also a more robust camera, built to stand up to more wear and tear.
But on a strictly image quality comparison, they are probably very close to one another...and so a smart plan might be to choose the lower priced camera, and put the money saved, toward better quality lenses or other accessories like bag, flash, tripod etc.
