Am I making the right decision buying a Canon 500D?

So its refurbished at $450 for the body and I will get a 50mm 1.8 prime. Then more lenses probably during the holiday. I was really set on a 600D which would have been nice but im 16 so moneys tight. I know where it really matters is in the lens but it weird buying something 2 years old. Now they are coming out with 24mp sensors which handle noise better and im buying something older which I guess has what I need but compared to all modern alternatives for that price am I making the right decision? I could always wait longer and save up for a T3i but Ive been waiting to so and get shooting for quite some time.
