If you are cropping for \"reach\" there is no contest.
I have no doubt that 7D is a better camera than 40D!
I am still not certain that 10 Mpixels out of 18 mpixels of 7D would be better than 10 Mpixels of 40D image (giving a pretty nice TC effect)
But what about the 300 yard walk You don\'t seem to be thinking clearly: if you need to crop 10/18 of the 7D frame, then you also need to crop 10/18 of the 40D frame, given any particular lens and shooting distance. It isn\'t a meaningful comparison to compare 10/18 of the 7D frame against the whole 40D frame. After all, why not compare a 6 Mpixel crop from the 40D frame to the full 18 Mpixels of the 7D. That\'s no less fair.
