Canon Digital Rebel Xsi vs. Nikon D80?

I'm starting out in photography and have narrowed it down to those two. Here are some points that I'd love your opinions on:- Image quality: which of these two has more vibrant colours, sharpness, and detail?- Userfriendliness: which of these is easier to use/find your way around? I can't linger too long while travelling.- Lens: the Xsi comes with the 18-55mm while the D80 comes with the 18-135mm. The kinds of photos I plan on taking are mostly close-ups, scenery/landscapes, candid portraits e.g. people along streets.Considering my needs, the 18-135mm is more versatile but this means that I'd have to get the D80, and I first need to ensure that I'm satisified with the D80 as a whole, image quality being a priority.I don't plan on getting any other lens FOR NOW; my budget's tight (jobless student!) so I must ensure I'm satisfied with the kit lens for at least two years.I'd love opinions, plus a summary of which one I should get. No other camera recommendations please!
