Toga, I have a W-7, and I checked with Sim on this very question. The W-7 can be bridged, but the W-7M is a different design. I was told that two 7Ms are superior over two W-7s bridged as monos. I had considered trying that to save some money as a W-7 can be purchased used/demo for app. $4,500 in the U.S. I have also read that the W-8 is a different design as well, carried over from when Victor Sima owned the company, but that it was instrumental in the design of the W-7 and W-7M.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program ...
