I agree that it doesn't make sense to try to visit Maui and Oahu within 7 days. In a week it would be difficult to get a feel for either place on it's own. Stay longer if you can.
I recommend that you think about what you want to do, then decide where to stay and for how long. Oahu and Maui are very different. If you want access to urban areas and don't want to spend a lot of money, stick with Oahu.
Maui is becoming more difficult to do on a limited budget. The county has recently cracked down illegal vacation rentals in the upcountry area (where I live). These were ideal for people on a limited budget and those who wanted to stay away from the resort areas. So now, most of the relatively inexpensive options are condo rentals in Kihei but you'll pay much more than Waikiki.
If you decide to come to Maui post again and I can give you some ideas
