On the other hand T3i/600D has a flip screen, LCD has better resolution and has built in focus motor.

As such, you will not go wrong with any one of them. Both of them are very capable cameras. Here is one interesting article about which DSLR to buy.

  1. T3i has no built in focus motor. There is no Canon DSLR with built in focus motor, the focus motor is placed in every EF / EF-S lens, so there's no need of a built in focus motor on the camera.
