Face breaker

Yesterday I managed to pick up a real tidy set of 'King Cobra 3100I/h' irons and a matching 7-wood to go alongside them for what can only be described as 'loose change' from the bottom of my pocket...
Now, as some may know I've recently been struggling with certain club/swing related issues the biggest of which being 'distance' well as of this morning I can now confirm that that issue has been well and truly put to bed as I now see a consistent 140 with the 8i and I've got a sneaky suspicion that I may even have spotted a hint of a draw on several occasions this morning...
Anyway back to the wood thing, does anybody here use a 7-wood or is it the done thing to use a hybrid instead these days, only reason I ask is cos, well, all I can say is 'Wow' what have I been missing for the last few years ?...
As covered earlier it's a '3100I/h' 7-wood in 'stiff flex/steel' that matches the rest of the irons, now having only used a 3-wood previously and hybrids for everything else (which I'm struggling a touch with I mite add) my first tentative swing with it this morning saw a sweet, medium height, penetrating drive with a touch of draw thrown in for good measure and about 160yds, now bare in mind this was first thing this morning and when I say first thing I mean 5:30am, the next several shots produced the same outcome with only slight variations in distance...
I'm now seriously considering this thing for use on our longer par-3's like our 196yd/5th, 185yd/10th and 205yd/7th...
Are any of you gunslingers out there regularly packing a 7-wood, do you prefer it, if not then why not or do you just see better results with an equivalent hybrid, your experiences and any pros/cons 'wood' be most appreciated please... :thup:
