The offset soundhole guitars have bracing that is integrated into the top rather than glued on later. It's quite different from the regular guitars. I'm guessing that the bracing is the same on the 5i/7i. That said, I was told they are not going to continue making the 5i, and that they will only be producing the 7i. The 5i is on their site though, so I don't know if that's accurate.
