It's very unlikely that anyone will be able to give you a definitive answer. When it comes to Wi-Fi, the dominating factor that determines performance is the environment. The placement of the extender, the layout and construction of your residence and the presence of other radio signals (both Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi) will all affect speeds.
On paper, the EX7300 should be faster than the EX7000 but other factors come into play. If you are putting the EX7300 in a different location than the EX7000, then that will matter. The EX7000 has external antennas, which could give it better range and might explain why you are getting better results. The EX7300 supports quad-stream 802.11ac, so it can hit a higher link speed (1733 Mbps) than the EX7000 (1300 Mbps). But this requires a client with quad-stream support. AFAIK, no mobile device or laptop supports quad-streams. MU-MIMO should also result more efficient usage of the 5 GHz band but clients must also support MU-MIMO.
