7mm-08 vs. 308 in the brush

I currently have a wooden stock 30-06 that is about 30 years old. i am looking to buy a stainless synthetic 308 or possibly a 7mm-08. My 30-06 has no problem shooting through some light brush like the majority of hunting that i do here in PA. I understand the 308 is comparable to the 30-06 but it has less recoil and accepts smaller heads. As for the 7mm -08 i dont know that much about it, but comparing it to the 308 from what i understand it shoots a bit flatter. My main concern since i do hunt in some brush is the 7mm-08 a good cartridge for light brush hunting?
