well, looking at the kite geometry and the very subtle differences between the 06 and 07 I would speculate that they probably fly close to the same. Differences in line and bar length is enough to give a different feeling for sure but this year I'm sticking to my 06s. I would, however, be interested in replacing my 06 rhinos with the new ones if they are as good as people say. In for a demo.

I didn't love the V6 as much as a lot of other riders but here's what I noticed about the V7 and will confirm:
Jumping - Definitely rips you off the water a bit more than the V6... FO' SHO'!
Flying - definitely faster through the window... WORD!
Power - smooth as butter, and plenty of it, great depower, and steers a bit better than the V6 when fully depowered... YUP!

All I can say is that when I am on my 06V 12 fully powered and other people are on their 10V, that thing rips me off the water as fast as I ever want to go. It is definitely an addictive feeling.
I rode my 9V twice this winter fully powered -- the times I used it in the summer it was at the bottom end of its range -- and was actually scared by how powerful and fast it was. It was like a different kite. I guess you could take that as a positive or a negative.

It says 10M, but it's really a 9.
