He can probably deal with any returns easily enough, much better than buying online, IMO. Back when I was shopping, the 5 and 6 series were also all solid woods, but you'd have to track those down used. The 6 had the deeper "concert" body in those days, and so was significantly more expensive than the 7 - maybe a difference of 10mm or so...from 95 to 105 measured at the lower bout? I'd have to double check that on my stats sheet, but they should have all the current data on their website.
