7000 are super stiff for starters.

the 7000 also has a combination outsole both plastice and composite where the 8000 has a full composite outsole. also depending on the year of the 7000 one has the traditional lace pattern where the other has the new lace pattern. if your unsure of what i mean look at older bauer skate and youll notice that its more of a slope where the newer bauers are more of an L shape

8000s have the new liner, lightspeeds, bareable stiffness, and they're a lot lighter. Cut is similar, with the 7 being a bit narrower. Cant go wrong with either, but i'd give the 8 the nod.

The first 7000s were taller and the cut was steeper as sogaduch said.
