is the T5i better (or newer) than the T4i and the 4 better than the 3?

I'm now considering a refurbished T5i with 18-55mm lens for $509. Does anyone have any experience with Canon refurbs (are they as good as Apple refurbs)?

The T5i is newer than the T4i, which is newer than the 3. The T4i has some significant upgrades to the 3, although image quality is not one of them. The T5i has minor upgrades to the T4i.

For the price, I'd jump on the 5. Refurbs can be a good value, but I'd want to know who is selling it. I'd be confident getting it from Canon or a reputable reseller like B&H or Adorama.
