It's extremely unlikely that the N5 won't get Android 7 through the dedicated efforts of some XDA folks.

If you want to save a couple hundred dollars, then maybe it's time to learn about a custom recovery and loading the 7.0 rom yourself!

I don't think the factory images are even out yet, so it'll take a bit for them to get a nice stable AOSP+gapps package for you

That's my plan for 7 on my 5. I was hoping CopperheadOS would support it but it looks like they're dropping the 5 too (based on quick google search).
