Webeflyin/Glenn I have a year behind me on the 9c. BEST INVESTMENT I EVER MADE!!!!! The ease of setup and mixing is top notch. Reading the specs on the two radios dose not tell the whole story. A friend recently bought the 7C thinking it would be almost like my 9C. While it may be a fine radio for the money it wont hold a candle to the 9c. The LCD for one is a lot cheaper and harder to read. The programing from what I can tell is also more difficult. He is having to change screen 2-3 times to do the same thing I do one 1 screen.

If you can swing it go with the 9.
