It seems to me that the fairest competitor to the F7F would be the Sea Hornet. Both planes could have seen combat in the war if that was deemed a priority, but neither did. Both are naval fighters. As opposed to the Hornet's 475 maximum speed, the Sea Hornet had a maximum speed of 460 MPH. Here's a chart from ww2aircraftperformance. IMHO, the two aircraft, similarly configured would be about a wash, with difference in pilot skill far outweighing any advantage by either aircraft.
