For 23.5M Cr you get :
Class 5A FSD
Everything else D-Grade (optimum Range, 4D Shields)
Full Weapon/Utility Loadout (Class 1 Gimbals/Chaff/Point Defenses)
216t Cargo capacity
For longer-range Trade hops, you might want to add your preferred Fuel Scoop to the calculation.
To cover 5% insurance, that would add ~1.2M Cr onto that.
Then you have a fully usable Type-7 sitting without Cargo in the Dock.
Very useful Tool to determine cost vs. configuration :

Then there is insurance + 2x (at least) cargo cost.

Clipper is another beast altogether and i don't recommend stepping into it until you have 40 - 45 million CR.
Repair costs are being change and lowered in 1.2 so scratching it may not be an issue anymore. Fuel costs are about the same between the two.
And Use the nifty shipyard tool it saves loads of guessing.
Oh and between the T7 and the Clipper I'd go for the clipper. WAY more fun to fly and you dont have to run from an NPC interdiction and once you upgrade to A6 thrusters, it's the fastest ship in the game.

25M is fairly safe, depending on how much you want to spend upgrading the T7 when you first get it.
I bought mine when I was at ~23M, spent somewhere between ~1-2M to upgrade to whatever D modules the station had in stock (so not all of them), FSD to a C, and then had ~4M left over for cargo + insurance.
Been flying it in pretty much that state ever since other than a more heat efficient powerplant (A-rating of a lower class # actually; had no need of all that extra power), since there was no point to upgrading the jump range any further for the route I was running because even at max jump range there's still no way to do it in a single jump.

Yeah, 25m should be good. I've got 4x G pulse turrets, 4x point defences, an A FSD, A power dist. and all C grade kit for the rest with 212 cargo and a docking computer, cost about 24 mil + 900k-odd insurance. Does the job.
3 things to be ready for - 1st, docking is tight. Like, pigeon-in-a-letterbox tight. Get a docking computer. 2nd, it overheats like crazy when jumping before you upgrade the power plant, jumps at around 120% heat (jumps at 100-103 with C plant), doesn't seem to take any damage though. 3rd...this says it all:-
So. Damned. Slow. Nice cockpit though, good earner. I'll be in mine for a bit until Wings is out and they tell us the FdL cost
