BAM at TH7?

Is BAM a viable raiding strategy at low-to-mid TH7?

I'm a brand new TH7 (about a week), and my dark barracks just finished. I've been farming with Barch in Gold III, and getting decent gold/elixir from collector raids (at least 400k each per hour). I also pick up some DE from time to time - I guess an average of roughly 300 DE per day.

Will switching from Barch to BAM improve my income?

I have lvl 4 barbs, lvl 4 archers, lvl 1 minions, lvl 3 lightning, lvl 3 heal, lvl 1 rage, 200 army spaces.

I really like Barch because it's so cheap and fast, but (at my level at least) it really is only good for collector raids. It's always sad when I have to skip a base that has a ton in storage, but is weak enough that if I'd brought a different kind of army (like Giant/Healer) I could have owned it. I've read that BAM lets you get core penetration but is still cheap and even faster than Barch, but people seem to be talking about higher level troops.

What do you think BAM can do for me? And if you don't think BAM is a good idea at my level, when does it become worthwhile?

Thanks!

no... stick with BARCH... TH7 BAM is still too weak
If you don't wanna miss the BIG loot, then upgrade to TH8 and get the strong Lv.5 BAM army

the only advantages staying on TH7 is you still can get 200K from TH6...
but which you'll prefer and you see more common? TH6 with 200K loot or TH7+ with 200K+ loot that you have to hit next because your troops is still too weak?

BAM at TH7 is terrible. Im a TH7 too, always failed a attack and only get 20-60 k of both.

ya bam needs lvl 5 barbs and archers. when i was th 7 BAM sucked, was wicked hard to get a star. Now it is awesome with lvl 5 barbs and archers and lvl 3 minions. cant wait till lvl 4 minions.
