Persuade to get the 7d?

So I asked my dad and he said he was expecting me to pick out a camera in the $1000 range. The 7d is on sale $500 and its about $1300. Although Ive never played with the camera, I do know most of the features, how tos, and just about everything you need to know for an enthusiast. However, We discussed that the 7d is like a pro camera, but people say its a high mid level camera and could be viewed as beginner pro (if that makes sense).

We are looking at other cameras and particularly canon since my sister has a t3i and the lens are interchangeable. I dont want to get the same one so the only option is something below that which won't happen or the t5i. BUT, te t5i is about $1000 at best buy. $300 more and we could get a pro like camera the 7d. The 70d is another option but about the same price as the ongoing sale for the 7d so why not get something better for the same price?

I really do not want to get the t5i and if he lets me get the 70d, why can't i spend a bit more for the 7d?

How can I get him to compromise for the 7d? I suggested to put my money into it and still he says its expensive for me.

Its my 16th birthday and instead of a car I asked for a better camera than something entry level like nikon 3200. I really do not want to miss this sale opportunity if he does decide yes but then realize its $1800 when we couldve gotten it for $1300… :(
