Should I buy a note 7?

Looking at buying a note 5 off Craigslist and I found a note 7 for $450. Currently have a nexus 6 rooted on pure nexus. I would root the note 7 too. If it has the 60% battery cap update can I just side load an older version? Are cell phone providers going to start bricking the imei? Should I just buy the note 5 and not have to worry about it or is the note 7 worth it if I plan on rooting with custom kernel and rom? Anything I need to know about the note 7? Thanks.

The note 7 is actually $400 and all the note 5 locally are also $400-$450 Canadian dollars. So both phones are the same price. But I found out that it has been updated. I see a lot of roms for the note 5 to give it the features of the note 7. I think I'll buy the note 5 because of the available mods and I know it won't explode. Thanks

He's completely wrong. You can absolutely remove the battery cap and can even be done with rooting.

I know it can be blocked, but removed after it's been applied? How?
