I never saw the 700, but the 600 with lighted clear plastic cover was a headache inducer. But this was a few years ago and it looks like Amazon has done it without these side effects.

The 700 had LEDs along the sides. It waent screen, LEDs, touch layer. It was a real mess and it showed. With the light off, it was not good.
The lightwedge cover was for the 505 only. It caused the 505 to be rather heavy. Also, the contrast was not so good with the light layer on top of the screen. Again, it was awful.
