I think more appropriate would be to compare Merlin 66 and 70 equipped Spitfires, as those were of 1944 standard as La-7 was. On the other hand, should not we compare La-7 with Spitfire XIV?
Interestingly, Soviets considered Spitfire LF.IX(!) their best high altitude fighter. She remained in service up until early 1950s.
