For me the regional passes are better. If you are planning to use it say from Tokyo to Osaka then back definitely not worth it. Now if you plan to do a Tokyo to Fukuoka then its worth it but can you really do such a trip in 7 days and feel satisfied? So study your itinerary carefully on what places you plan to go and try to look for a regional pass that will cover those places. Chances are there is a regional pass that will cover the places you plan to go at a much cheaper cost than a nationwide JR Pass.
