Probably not as I know many much more experienced captians than I love the IX.
So to you smart guys, what do you like about the IX besides the increased range?

Lots of torpedoes. |
Yes what he said. More torps
With 21 torps type IXB carries, 100k per patrol is easier to reach than type VII
If on average you need two torps to sink a ship, all you have to do is find 10 large merchants, tankers or cargos and you get 100K+. I have two 100k+ patrols in my current career. With enough torps, it's not difficult.
Having said all that I will try type VII the next time, and see if I can bag 100K patrol.
