The Falcon looks more than a bit larger than the shuttles.
That said, I can see arguments for SM +7, but you have to reconcile the Falcon's four bridge stations with the fact that SM +7 gives you only three stations on the bridge.

Don't forget that if the ship has an engine room that adds another control station, so an SM+7 ship with an engine room would have 4 control stations. We could see from
The Empire Strikes Back that the Falcon could be repaired from the inside so a
Spaceships design would probably devote space for an engine room.
