I also own both and have found that (ballistics tables be damned) the .308 just seems to be the better killer. About 8 years ago I was foolish enough to doubt my experience and look to ballistic tables for the sexiest thing out there. I now own both a 25-06 and a 7mm-08 that I doubt I'll hardly ever use again for anything other than paper. The .308 with a 165 gr. bullet has worked better for me than any other cartridge I've ever used. I really wish that there was better info out there on terminal ballsitics and bullet performance. It is easy to get suckered when your only looking at bullet flight or energy expressed as a number and not also figuring frontal area and other factors such as faith.
