Probably not a noticeable difference between the two.

You might notice more difference from sitting in a different spot than between the two plane types.

Funny you should mention this. 2 weeks ago an 800 outbound and a 700 inbound. The outbound flight on the 800 seemed to bounce around more, but I attributed it to turbulence rather than to the aircraft itself.

In general, the bigger the aircraft the less "bouncy" it will be. The 800 is "slightly" bigger than the 700, so it would be "slightly" less bouncy. I'm, not sure it would even be noticeable.
Now for a big difference in "bounciness," a 747 would be a lot less "bouncy" than any 737.

Funny—my kinda thread. In my experience/perception, the 800s do bump about more, relatively speaking. I presumed (on top of the presumption that is at all true) it’s because they are built of lighter materials.
The trade-off comfort-wise is they are much quieter, headrests, more exit rows/space etc etc
