Pick the EOS 550D if you want the lowest cost and slightly faster burst shooting, as the extra 0.7 fps and €127 savings outweigh the minor weight difference. The EOS 4000D stays the better choice if you prioritize a lighter body and a more recent release year, though neither advantage justifies the significantly higher price for identical core specs.
