There is a slight advantage to having a DEX of 7 vs 6. If your DEX is 6 and you take the Good path in the Selfishness test in Hell, you will drop down to 5, which will give an AC and Ranged Missile penalty. Having 7 prevents this, so it is marginally better than 6.

Technically, I guess having an 8 would allow this PLUS you could screw around with the Machine of Lum the Mad, but that doesn't seem very useful. So between 7-14 there are no advantages for non-Thieves.
