the 7th string on a 7 string guitar is designed to be tuned down lower a 5th to the 6 string because it is usually thicker than your standard 6 string on your guitar.
If I tune my 7 string 2 1/2 steps down to F# it will sound mushy and not defined. if you are looking for that type of sound then that's fine. but most people don't. they want kick ass, tight rhythm sound. you can't the the same definition in your tuned down guitar than a 7 string guitar.
with you set up I would probably tuned down to C or C# not to B.
