Also, by the DMG rules, a CR 7 creature and a CR 3 creature combine to make an EL of 7. The CR 3 doesn't add enough danger to the encounter to push it to 8. That means that if you do it by the DMG, the characters effectively get no experience whatsoever for killing that CR 3 creature. You want to do it BY creature and BY character.
