Seriously, just go with the 8 string. Having an 8 string is like the benefits of moving to a 7 from a 6 allover again. Remember how good all those extra notes at the bottom, and the greater range in single positions felt when you were no longer limited like you were on a 6? Getting an 8 is like that feeling all over again. They really are truly bloody great!

Besides, that 7 looks like some crappy bannana contraption, and when was the last time you saw people actually able to play the upper register? Michael Manring has a 36 "fret" bass (although not really since its fretless) but even he admits that other than sliding up to single notes, the upper register gets little to no use, since even on a bass it's just too fiddly to actually play.
