On the plus side, since the 7D does not lend itself well to long takes I don't think drift will pose any problems for you in post.

I will respectfully disagree here. Under recorded audio is as bad as occasionally overmodulated audio. Get a limiter! Pay attention to the rehearsal, and be ready to pot down a little for the yelling or whatever. If you record too low, and I get this all the time, when you bring the dialog up to an acceptable level, the noise comes up too! So you are bringing up the background noise, from a garage, 10 to 16dbfs. Not good.
