It is pretty normal that pixel sharpness i way beyond D700 and also little beyond D90. It is due to optical laws; D7000 has a half smaller sensor than D700 and on the same time much more pixels on it, so pixels are much much smaller. Also, antialiasing filter is probably bit stronger that will give little bit additional softening.
The real question is; how sharpness compares to D700 when you print images from both camera, the same size! This is only test that can give an answer what camera is sharper. You can do simulation of that test, by comparing images side-by-side on your screen, but first, downsize both them to say, 3000px wide. Then compare the sharpness, not while looking at 100% view from full sized images.

I was wondering whether the lack of comparable sharpness is the result of the image being shot as JPEG on camera. From my experience and from all dpreview takes on all nikon cameras of the past 2 years (at least), the in-camera image processing creates images on the soft side. This is very easily seen if you shoot a RAW and visualize the embedded JPEG and the RAW conversion in viewNX. Of course, you’re bumping the sharpness of the picture control, but then again it is not going to sharpen something that is fuzzy enough.
