A: Have not rode the 7.2, but my guess is that they will ride very, very similar. The only significant difference will be the fork. Initially, brakes and drivetrain will not make a huge difference and, since it is a hardtail, the fork is the only factor I'd be concerned with. If it's money that you're worried about, I'd suggest getting the 7.2 and raging that fork while saving up for a Pike or Fox 34 for upgrade in 1-2 years.
