Personally since it's the same price, I would get a longer string light: Twinkly - Smart Light String 600 LED RGB Generation II - Multi

My last advice is to not mix different generations and LED types. Getting a Generation II like above is what I have and I love it.

Also, for these LED lights that everyone is going nuts over - hows the longevity? Are these a more expensive version of the lights where when one goes out, the whole string is ruined? So sick of buying and wasting so much plastic every year. Even storing in climate controlled areas on a wheel in a a plastic container, seems like lights only last 1 year max these days. At $100-200/string minimum buy-in, just wondering if these are just the rich person's version of the same old crap

If you're fine creating your own patterns or modifying colors in the app you'll be fine going RGB. If you want warm white without thinking about it, go RGBW.
If you want basic coverage you could probably live with 400 lights on a 7ft tree. If you want any recognizable patterns though, you'll want to at least double that. Personally I don't think 800 would be overkill by any means. Check out

As for longevity, they're much better than the cheep led lights. I've had some of my trees wrapped with them for more than a year. A squirrel chewed through the string completely a couple months back. I spliced them back together after I realized they weren't turning on. Every single light is still working after more than a year outside in the elements.
