The 7D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon 7D will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 7D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
