well, yes, interpolation reduces image sharpness and is only good as 
a "last resort."

I would suggest that you can easily get away with about 220ppi on 
larger prints so the Rebel will get you closer than you think... but 
it won't match medium format.

another option... with everyone dumping their film gear for digital, 
used film gear is getting down right cheap.  why not get yourself the 
rebel and pick up a Mamiya 645? that way you can do both.
