Very good point Stu.
400D/450D is plastic, 20D/30D/40D are magnesium alloy. Although the weight difference isn't massive, it certainly is noticeable and as you say after a day carrying it around it will feel heavier.
Personally I prefer the extra weight, camera feels stronger (has stronger body against impact etc) and also I feel the weight helps stabilise the shot, and balance the camera better to reduce the "shake" blur.
So I suppose as usual, advantages and disadvantages to both sides.
