I currently have a Canon T2i which has served me well. Am considering a T7i. Is this a smart move? I have various lenses and want to protect my investment. Would welcome comments/suggestions.

Do you want to maximize your upgrade will maintaining your investment in cropped-sensor compatible lenses (EF-S)? Look at the 80D or 77D. There are cost and feature trade-off considerations, but your maximum upgrade would be either these two newest models at the 'advanced' product tier, assuming maximum frames per second is not a need for the 7DII.

Depends on a number of things you have not mentioned.
Budget
What lenses you currently have.
What kind of photography you especially enjoy and focus on (Landscape, wildlife, action, portrait, street, etc...)
What you find restricting about your current camera (why you think you need to get a new camera).

80D, body only, is back in stock at Canon refurb site ($799). I'd do that rather then continuing up the TXi food chain.

Yes. ......and from there, the 77D or 80D if you can swing it.

As others have suggested, I would recommend an 80D, refurbished from Canon. We have a T2i and a T3i, and they are both competent enough cameras, but the 80D is a very noticeable improvement and your lenses should all be fine, although they may focus better or faster in certain situations. Very happy with the 80D as an upgrade.
I'm certainly a Canon fan, but if thinking about mirrorless or other formats Canon has a way to go still, but to simply upgrade the body then sticking with Canon is a good option.

I think from a T2i to a T7i is an update and not upgrade because both of them are of the same grade.

Not sure I would agree with that. T2i, T3i, T4i, T5i, for sure, but T6i and T7i are improvements. 80D significantly so.

Not even close! The T6s and t6i both are upgraded to 24 megs new sensor a lot like da 80d and focus points up from 9 to 19 all cross type fast focus out of the 70d big time improvement if plus if you get da T6s you get a glass windowed meter just like da big boys on top of camera and a fine wheel in da back
