Well, not precisely to be fair.
That figure included a bit of rounding up and down on both bikes.
796 was a "gnats" over 7 and the 1100 was a "gnats" under 10 (my split second in-head arithmetic gave me 10-7=3).
Spec/performance wise, on paper at least, I couldn't see enough of a difference to warrant the extra wedge.
There are/were other factors to consider too, like the insurance for the 7 is 3 groups lower than the 11, and (probably most importantly) for some reason the seat is about 2 inches shorter on the 7.
