The beauty of the M7 is that you have the best of both worlds, AE and manual.
For me AE translates into speed rather than laziness - particularly in fast changing light.
The DX issues are well known and you can source one with the non-mechanical reader or get it changed yourself. It should work well after that.
However, irrespective of your choice, I have no doubt that either will give you pleasure.
