Hi guys, just got my UE700 back from servicing. And apparently they replaced the unit with a new one. Personally I noticed a few things: cabling is now flimsier, and it terminates in a right angled plug. Most importantly, the sound bore seems to be longer. Personally I'm not sure if acoustically this makes a difference. In any case, I'll be doing a comparison soon after I get used to them.
 
Initial Impressions:

1. Bass seems fuller
2. Treble detail is more well controlled

After a few hours of listening in/burning in, it seems to my conclusion that the SE425s don't have superior soundstaging to the UE700s. To me this is astonishing especially considering the price difference. However, the UE700s sound skimpy and less full when playing jazz/classical. My guess is that both aren't all round IEMs, but pick and choose for your preference.

UE700 is extremely good has finally been gradually getting accepted as a fantastic value during the past few month.
