I think P7 will be fab when SR1 comes out in January.
EF's bosses must have said "ship it before xmas, or else" and they just rushed it out of the door completely untested. I didn't expect this because there was a beta test programme for it.

If I was into conspiracy theories I would speculate that they had a certain feature, like enhanced cloth room, that they had to pull out at the last moment for legal reasons or because of other problems, so they spent the last weeks on that rather than getting P7 solid. The sort of bugs in P7 are just embarrassing to EF because they clearly show that nobody actually took a closer look at the new figures or features at all.
