In calm water the type IX is a little slower than the VII, but not too much. In rough seas however it is much slower.
You get more external torpedos with the IX which is fine in the early war years, but later it becomes redundant because loading externals becomes impossible. It's worth thinking about switching back to the VII for the late war years because of that.
