Magnus' size advantage over the other primarchs justify S&T:7.

So he gets T7 because he's big? I mean, why not give T7 to Horus, he was pretty big too, and an all around tough kind of guy who enjoyed fighting almost more than any other primarch. Or why not to Dorn, a guy who loves to defend and is otherwise primarch of a particularly resilient and gritty legion. Or why not Perturabo, who was also primarch of a very resilient legion and a pretty tough guy himself?

Seriously, leave T7 to the primarchs that are explicitly stated to be above and beyond the normal limits of durability of even a primarch. We're talking the most resilient people in the galaxy, not just some guy who's a little bigger than the other primarchs. That's what S7 is for.

When you try and justify T7 for Magnus, you dilute the specialty of the 'tough' primarchs. So far, we only have three who have T7, and it will likely remain that way. Those three primarchs are T7 for reasons above and beyond being a little bigger than the other primarchs. Its a part of their character, their defining feature, both fluff and crunch wise.

Leave Magnus to be what he is; a psyker. Don't make him in to something crunch wise that steps on the toes of other primarchs.

S7, T6 is perfectly fine, and indeed, I'd even argue S6, but I won't get into that debate. And give him WS6, he is a primarch afterall.

A Primarch he may be, but his one eye kinda makes it hard to both shoot and attack in close combat. Granted he should be strength 7, but his BS should be no higher then a 3 and his WS no higher then a 4 maybe a 5

Are you basing that solely on the fact that he is missing an eye?
