Based on my experience with the 730 and the Trek 7.2 FX I owned, the 750 is a much better bike in that it has higher level components. Don't tell your daughter that, though.
I consider a 750 to be great find. Double-butted True Temper cro-moly frame & fork, made in the U.S.A. back when TREK was the go-to brand for bicycling enthusiasts.
In my experience, the FX models ARE more sporty in their appearance and in their ride.
