Not until 7.5, the next release. You may have been victim to some bad information. The 7.5 release will include a redeployment menu besides the current Initial Deployment menu for unknown computers in 7.1. Check out pages 12 and 13 in this PDF from the PowerPoint shared by Jon Sharp at Vision in May:

The menu and other functionality was supposed to be available with 7.2, which would have been out already I believe, but that release was pushed and all functionality will coincide with the 7.5 release. 7.5 is currently approaching limited beta to certain select partners.
I wouldn't feel bad about your 7.1 upgrade. You have the improved console with the Enhanced Console view (a.k.a. Activity Center), which puts everything in one pane for managing computers and other resources. Software and license management is easier if you're an Asset user. You have increased performance from 64-bit and higher scalability as a result, or just snappier console performance. You can't tell me the console isn't faster than when you were on 7.0. You've got Patch Management 7.1 SP1, which gives you broader access to vendor patches. You can stage and distribute in a single step -- no more waiting for bulletins to download before you can create a policy. You can create emergency policies, which expedite all the scheduled tasks for software updates or traditional software resources. You have bug fixes, including very many that apply to Deployment Solution. You have DeployAnywhere for hardware-independent imaging, including for non-critical drivers. Additional Ghost options, tokens, and scripted OS install options. You can predefine with just a MAC address.
So it's not a total wash. Check out the PDF at the link above for the goodies on the DS 7.5 release. If you're looking for a menu that all computers can get, even if they are already known to the NS, so that techs on a bench can down-arrow and select 'reimage,' it'll be in 7.5.
