Providing that you have batteries in your M7 there is no reason why you can not work manually whenever you want. If you do want the classical experience you have lost nothing. When you wish to enjoy the accurate metering, whether aperture priority or manual it is there for you. The only possible difference in feel is the M7's distinctly staged shutter release, which differs from the mechanical smoothness, say of an M3.
