HauntedMyst, I've been researching step throughs, so performance isn't an issue. I had a stroke back in February and ever since, I've had a fear of not being able to clear the saddle when dismounting. Rational or not, the fear would probably cause a fall, and I'm getting a little old for that kind of stuff. I didn't know they made a 700 C version. My favored LBS might still carry the brand, and I'll see if they will take trade ins or consignment on the other two that are taking up space.
