Sounds great! Does Android 7 run smoothly and stable-y on this device?

Not quite yet. There are still some issues to be worked out. [0] It runs Android 6 (CM13) great, just in my opinion Nougat isn't polished enough for daily use.

Custom roms never run stable from my experience and that is why I have stuck with Google Nexus devices in the past. Maybe if the phone is past its supported update lifespan then I would consider custom roms, otherwise I don't want to have to deal with these frustrations on a brand new device.

  YMMV obviously but having used CyanogenMod for the past few years on various devices I've found it to generally exceed the stability of vendor-provided Android. Not to mention the better user experience and more rapid security patching.

  "Custom roms never run stable from my experience and that is why I have stuck with Google Nexus devices in the past." Coincidentally enough, the custom ROMs for the N4 and N5 are ubiquitous & surprisingly stable. My N4 running CM 10.1.3 has yet to crash or freeze w/out my fiddling with Privacy Guard(been fiddling with it for 2 years, became daily phone only recently). The Sailfish OS ROM has come a long way and is still actively updated. Sure they're dated & SFOS is somewhat limited(and trust isn't quite on par w/ Maemo) but what else is there? Yeah, Neo900 was an admirable reboot attempt, but roadblocks have put them even further behind the curve.

  I have a custom ROM on my oneplus 2, it's smooth like butter.

    That's interesting - which ROM are you using?

      Latest cyanogenmod 13 with google play minimal installed.

  Funny that, my experience is quite the opposite. Nexus 6P (Marshmallow); any time I lost phone signal the messaging app would get itself stuck in a tight loop until it had to be force stopped. You'd think they would have tested that on a brand new device.. Cyanogen Mod has been great in the past, as you say, to extend the life of old phones. Quite stable too.
