It’s not about what the used market or new market is offering. tastewar mentioned an old 7 speed cassette and doing cassette body transplants. The new hub mentioned isn’t in the old mix.

Now the fact that the wheel is question had a freewheel is a different kettle of fish.

What the hell are you talking about? 7 speed 135 hubs aren't brand new this year. The OP has been told by you and several others (thanks, Jeff) that if he buys a used 135 it won't be 7 speed. That is simply not true. Just as there were 7 speed 130 road hubs, there were and continue to be lower end 7 speed 135 mountain wheels.
