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:

Take a look at this book

A great explaination of how great players do this.
