If you like the linear power of the 7R, wait until you try the GXII. It's very similar, but a lot closer to the 5R's bottom end punch.
Agreed
I used to run both a 5 port and a 7 port before I started running MG66 for MM in Truggy, I never found my 7 port lacking in bottom end... in saying that, the 5 port was better suited to certain conditions, my MG66 has the best of both
