In regards to recoil, I find it interesting that the biggest gap between the two is with their respective most common mid-weight bullets. Whether or not there's enough difference to matter is a personal choice. For me, there is. 7-08 is right at the top limit of enjoyable shooting for me. .308 is just enough more to be too much.
