I don't know anything about the LS-7. I have an Ls-14 which I also like a lot but it is radically different than the LS-P4 and the LS-100 units I have. In my opinion the LS-14 is the best built of all the Olympus recorders with a tough plastic body and good rubber feet. The feet of the LS-P4 are one of the recorders weaknesses and won't last too long.

Which the P2 apparently did. I kinda liked that razer look.
