Dantien are storage (3 banks) rather than transformer/distribution centers like chakras.
Prana runs through Nadis, Chi runs through Meridians. Nadis are not Meridians.
There is a ton of confusion out there, and very few sources that go into fine detail.

Look at it as 7 "common", which are the basic "needs". There are subchakras that are fairly important to the evolving/awakening individual that can begin to activate. Some systems simply include those chakras above the mains, which do not directly deal with the physical.
