The Elan 7 is a tiny bit larger than the Rebel and the 1v (without grip) is about the size of a 5D. The 1vHS (includes high speed grip) is about the size of a 1D markII. I'd say the the Elan 7 is about at par with the 30D and 40D in terms of quality but slightly smaller in size. The EOS 3 (wonderful camera) is about the size of the 30D and 40D.

Don't forget about the older but well received Canon A2E. If you see yourself owning a 1 series DSLR in the future, I highly recommend the 1v. The basic control layout is identical which means switching between letsay a 1DmII and 1vHS doesn't require a mental switch in operation.
By the time DSLRs hit the market, Canon had invested soooo much technology and R&D into their film cameras that you really can't make a bad decision. I'd just think in terms of how much you can afford.
