Ray - my first digital SLR was a 400D. I recently purchased a second-hand 10D. The 10D is 6.3MP compared with the 10.1MP of the 400D but guess which camera I use most?

You got it - the 10D. Despite the lower sensor resolution the sharpness and clarity of the image is massively superior to the 400D.

My brother has an orignal 1D that he uses for weddings. Although I haven't seen the pictures he assures me that it blows his 20D away despite the 1D only having 4MP.

It's all about the software and the sensors (focussing, metering, white balance etc) not the number of pixels.

Agree with Graham though - the 30D will give you better technical quality but it won't improve the composition of your images. It's a photographer that makes the picture, not the camera.
