The VII is a damn good boat. I like the IX for the wrong reasons, it makes you feel like you're in command of a large ship and the views from the conning tower are better. The torpedo load is great. But the IX dives like a wallowing cow. In my previous career, before GWX, I went to the Caribbean twice and had some fun. I would stick with a VII until you've hoarded enough renown for IX. By then you will know what type of sumbie is good for you.
Happy hunting!
