Stephen, Those few tweaks include some substantial differences, and only a few of them are visual.
Some of the significant changes are things like the improved AXIS engine for webservices, the SOAP header methods, improved type-detection functions (like the isValid() function), *tons* more support for XML, the result="" attribute for several tags like cfquery and cffile, and many other things... So, if you're starting fresh with a new server or you're just starting to learn CFML, I *strongly* recommend CFMX 7. Laterz!
