Minokta Hi-matic 7 vs 7s Gear/Film

My quest for a rangefinder has brought me to a choice between a Minolta Hi-matic 7 and a 7s, both sold by the same guy. As far as I've been able to research, the main difference is a cold shoe vs a hot shoe. I was wondering if there are any other significant diferences that I should consider. Both cameras I'm looking at are suposedly in working condition with some minor cosmetic damage. The 7s is going for ~$4 more than the 7.

Forgot to add, I never really use flash so the cold shoe/hot shoe does not make a difference to me.

Nothing really significant beyond that. I prefer the look of the 7s personally, but I’d go for the one with the less foggy viewfinder (common issue on these)
