You're wise to be looking at 712s. You might also drive a 710 but the general sentiment on the forum is that once you've gone to a 712, you wonder why you messed with a 710 inthe first place.

While I started and still have my 712 the 710 is soooooo much more fun to drive. The challenges the 710 offers over the 712 as a hoot. You are correct that situations dictate the vehicle of choice. I am lucky enough to have both but find myself driving my 710 far more miles on the trails and in town, just soooo much more fun to wheel in.
