The age long question: Sony or Canon?

I have had the sony a230 for almost a year now and it kinda sucks. I am looking to upgrade and am looking to buy the Canon 60D. It looks like an amazing camera and the Canon accessory's are amazingly cheap, and Sony has a different flash adapter so it can't hold third party accessory's like the pocket wizard. Then out of the blue comes the Sony A55. 10 frames per second, 100% electronic viewfinder, swivel tru-black screen and a 400$ cheaper price tag. My brain says that Canon has been making cameras forever but my heart says 10 frames per second. it's driving me crazy. also no sony and/or canon fanboys, I want to know why its a better camera.
