The 701 mid range is not it's strongest suit.. I wonder how many headphones this guy has heard.

Great read!
I agree with many of your points and love the reference to Rush (as you can tell by my avatar). I really enjoyed the K701s with classical, jazz and acoustic music (and even some prog rock like Pink Floyd and Genesis). But with hard rock and metal (as you mentioned) the lack of bass really did take away from the excitement factor with those cans. They have since been replaced by the HD800s and I haven't looked back (except very recently for my new bedside rig...great price to performance ratio for the AKGs right now).
That's the beauty of the T1s is that they are great at classical, jazz, acoustic, AND rock, hard rock, prog rock and metal. For my money, they are the best all rounders I've heard. Though I have not heard the LCD-2s yet.
