Actually, the Rebel has Av, Tv and M, too. All of this can of course still be controlled with one wheel and one button. It's just more cumbersome but I guess that is how Canon makes the Rebel a bit cheaper and more importantly distinguishes it from the higher end models. I most likely would have bought the Rebel if it had the quick control wheel. Without it it's just too cumbersome to change settings in M mode or to change focusing points quickly.
