I recently got a 735 and it has been game changing for me. I was able to take rough lumber from a oak pallet and turn it into a bunch of usable oak that I am currently using for the desktop organizer box. Being able to take a bunch of 3/4″ stock and take it to 1/2″ & 5/16″ very accurately and quick was great. I did remove the initial twist and cupping via handplanes. I did not get it perfect, just close and then ran face through until I got it flat then flipped and did the face I did by hand.
I’ve never had or used another planer so I cannot comment on how a benchtop works versus a floor model. For my small amount of removal it worked fine. If I wanted to take a 1″ off of something a bandsaw or hand saw would likely still be the better option followed by the planer as then your not wasting a bunch of material and excessively dulling your knives.
