I too hunt Pennsylvania. I'm familiar with your "dilema". Since you already have a larger rifle or two, I see no need to go the 7 Mag route.
I hunted with a 7 Mag for 20 yrs., and killed a lot of deer with it. About 4 yrs. ago I bought a 7-08. The Mag is a closet queen now. I simply love that 7-08, and have no reason to think of anything else for whitetail. It has filled my deer tags repeatedly. It's a pleasure to shoot and to do bench work with. I'm totally sold on it.
If you handload, you may want to try IMR 4350 in the 46-48 gr. range under 140 Accubonds. A lot of 7-08 guys are shooting this combo and doing well with it.....both in the woods and on paper.
Good luck on your decision.....either is a potent round....the 7-08 being a lot easier on ya....
