Which Canon DSLR? Help me decide...

OK - a little roll playing here.

I'm playing the part of the DSLR newb, trying to decide which DSLR to spend my hard earned cash on. I cut my teeth on Canon advanced PnS cameras, so I'd like to purchase a Canon model. Image quality is my #1 concern. I recently had a chance to test two different Canon DSLR's and I took the following shots with the cameras at the same settings:

Camera A (no cheating with the EXIF):

Camera B (again no cheating):

So which one wins? Camera A or Camera B.

Camera A shows a little more detail, I can't really tell if it's a focusing issue, or something else.

Were these taken at the same settings? It looks as if A was taken at a smaller aperture giving it more depth of field. I prefer photo A.

These next two are the same cameras. But this time I went with 100% crops rather than resized photos (I really am going somewhere with this ).

Camera B crop (exact same settings):

I agree that they are very close. Personally I like A better in the first set and B in the 2nd set.
