No one can really answer your question definitivly. Bite the bullet and try the T2i. If it doesn't work for you, sell it.

You gotta go to a store and try them. No way to know for sure. They are all different. I've been looking at lots of them - some work for me w/o diopter, some don't. I'm opting for diopter.
