I would suggest that if you are going to try replacing the mixer with the 7xx series, try it first before you really intend to use it. You may be OK with the way it works as a replacement to the mixer, but my guess is if you were using a mixer previously, then you'll want to continue using the mixer in front of the 7xx recorder. But then again, you may be able to deal with the way the audio adjustments work.

thanks, i actually was using the mixer and 702T combo. I was mostly using one boom and found no reason for the mixer, i always used one mic.
I really got used to the smaller knobs of the 702T and its limiters, preamps, and meters are excellant. I do see that using the camera input audio from the 702 can be a scratch track, but sometimes there's situations where the camera operator can not be tethered to the sound recordist. I find myself just using the on camera mic as a scratch track and it works well.
Just wondered if i was missing something as using the 702 just for its preamps and sending it out to camera is a waste. I'm talking about just using the camera's audio as a final not the recorder's files.
thanks
