I've slowly turned into a Type IX convert myself. If you love attacking convoys in the same few grid squares in the North Atlantic, by all means go for your Type VII. If you like to be sent who knows where and have new adventures in exotic locales, then the Type IX is for you.

I do notice the longer dive times on the Type IX's, but I never noticed the slower underwater speed. A half a knot on top underwater speed doesn't really matter to me, as I never really use top speed underwater anyways.
