Squee, I think the only reason why many people seem to think the 9XL and 4s are a good match is because they use the MM ESC, which is only good for 4s. Sure, a 7XL or 8XL would probably work better IF geared right, but most will keep the same aggressive gearing which will pull too much current for the little MM. The 9XL is probably more of a choice to help limit the current somewhat.

I agree though, proper gearing will make the 7XL work just as well as the 9XL.
