None of amiga hardware sites has any pictures or infos about rev 7 mobo. Some doesn't seems to know that it exist.
 
Is it rare? Does anyone know how it differs from rev 6 mobo?

It's a mystery, here are my theories in order of likelihood.
 
There may have been a revision 7 designed, but it might not have made it to production before revision 8 was done. The Amiga 2000 revision 5 suffered a similar fate.
 
Or it was designed around the a3000 agnus (8372ab) and they had problems with it (https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en&fromgroups#!msg/comp.sys.amiga.hardware/oae1KBTTE7w/RLDTexh-nSUJ).
 
Or it might have suffered some other mystery problems.
 
Or they may just have skipped a revision, in case they pushed back the a500+ launch but wanted a blank space.
 
Or they wanted to create a conspiracy.
