    Not sure which m7 arpeggios you descend with, but a tip to make this more "pleasing," you want to make some attempt to driving the leading tone (7th scale degree) to tonic, and/or the 4th to the 3rd for the melodic "journey." This is probably the sense of "resolve" your ear is seeking. #

    Some exercises that might help:
    Major 'ii v7 I' Patterns
    Minor 'ii7b5 V7 i' Patterns
