If a 7 inch rail works for you and your style of shooting, you're fine.
shooters don't get longer rails for "style" or to be part of the "cool" crowd, they get them because it allows them to use their rifles the way they want to.
for myself right now it's a 7inch rail, simply because having no income and going to boot camp in 50 days will make a rail purchase rather stupid. I'm 6'3, and I prefer to run my support hand out much further than I can with a 7 inch rail. With a 7 inch rail and fixed FSP/FSB my ideal grip would be past the FSP. Also, using any sort of light or VFG makes the 7 inch rail seem quite small. For me, I think no smaller than 10 inches of rail. YMMY, but don't buy a longer rail if you do not need it.
