I had a 96 170DC with a 115 Mercury, loved the rig. It was sized that I could easily load and unload by myself and enough hp to get me where I wanted. I did purchase the deck extension for between the two consoles.
Basic same boat, both are rated for 125 hp. and about the same weight, 700 LX a little lighter.
Own a 2001 nitro 700lx with a 115 optimax and love the boat... Love the motor even more when I got it wet up right. Hell of a fishin mashine. The onlything is learning how to drive it. Look at some of the posts on here about the 700 and the 750 and get some seat time and you will be fine.
