I still love both of my readers but really glad I have the 505 since it's replacement, the 300, doesn't seem as appealing.
Like I said earlier in the thread, I think the scaling back is for a price drop. I love love love my 505, but if the 600 proves to be a clearer screen than the 700 and something happened (god forbid and knock on wood) to my 505, I'd probably pick that as a replacement.
