Tony, I think it's honestly down to personal preference. I had the same view as you about the E500s - but the issues I had (distant vocals for one) don't seem to be issues for the people who enjoy them. I think the C700s have much nicer treble and better vocal presentation, but another listener might prefer the treble of the E500s since it's not so fatiguing perhaps? Epithetless finds the Denons fatiguing, yet many others don't. It all boils down to what suits our own ears.
If one person prefers the sound of one headphone to another - it doesn't always mean the preferred headphone is 'better' - just that the listener prefers the sound of that particular headphone with his/her source.
