An R7000 isn't a bad antenna, but if you are really interested in working
DX, you're better off with a beam of some kind. Even a low tribander will
beat out an R7000 in most instances.
The R7000 does have the advantage of covering 7 bands fairly well.
Especially if you have an automatic antenna tuner in your rig.
I bought an R7000 originally intending it to be the second radio antenna.
So far, I haven't come up with the money for the second radio or the
tower for the A3S I have in the basement.
