If you really liked the 20d, get it. You'll regret it if you dont. Nothing worse then spending hundreds of dollars and wishing you bought the other one.

Let me guess, your two lenses aren't a 70-200 2.8 IS and a 400mm f/2.8IS?

Usually people don't want to lose money when they have thousands invested in proprietary gear.

Nothing to do with being loyal to the brand (Though there are many who ascribe to the Ford/Chevy syndrome). It's simply economics; as Village Idiot indicated, if you become seriously involved in this hobby, you'll likely accumulate glass, when you've been it as long as some people, you have lots of expensive glass. Just because company 'X' comes out with a better body doesn't mean it's practical to switch.

I did say...

If you're spending hundreds or thousands on glass then it might be different, but when you're buying budget lenses like myself then you don't need to think that you can't switch system later on.

i think im going to go for the Canon 20D with kit lens and buy a 50mm F1.8 or the Sigma 28-70mm F2.8-4

get the kit lens and the 50 mm, VERY good combo, 50 mm for low light, the kit for everything else. Even though I shoot with a d200, I have used a 20d, and it is a very very nice camera, my choice before I found the d200.
