Yeah I'm a long time VII guy myself doing my first career with a IX.
Like you say, the dive time for the IX is tough to take in a tight spot. And really once you move to France you can take plenty of long trips with the VII no problem.
And there are always milk cows for longer trips.
But I'm a IXer for the time being. So far so good with my tonnage totals and no real damage suffered yet. Jury is still out.
