| No this isn't one of those "Mine is soooo big.." threads. 
I met a friend of mine at the hobby shop yesterday who's building a 700. We took a few pictures, and had a weigh off. We're both running 8717's, YS, Hatori, FP4340 Lipos. He's using the 7100 rx, and I'm using the 9000 with a revmax and spektrum step down. Both using Radix standard blades. 710's on his, 690's on mine. The other pictures I've seen online have made the 700 appear much smaller, but it's pretty close. Approx. 3/8 - 1/2" shorter from main shaft to tail shaft and a slightly shorter but much wider canopy. Last night the Aurora came in at 9.9lbs, and the 700 at 9.8lbs. The 700 hasn't flown. He's getting married today, and will be gone for the next week so I can't compare flight qualities.
The 700 isn't as stout as the Aurora, but a MUCH easier build. We sat down at 6 with the kit, and by 9 we had eaten a pizza and had the heli completely built less electronics!

Apparently the 600n canopy fits the 700n with no modifications.
