You wont attract too many FM people to 700D, LPCnet-C2  can win over those , at least in terms of voice quality and robustness (compared to DSTAR, and DMR is really more like CB) , given that LPCnet with a relatively simple modem can be 12dB ahead of FM. Needs a frequency hopping radio to provide good multipath mitigation.

The SSB people working the DX who are used to 3dB SNR like 700D, but I think not care not much for LPCnet-C2

The rag chewer SSB ops  will like 700D, and LPCnet-C2

At the end of the day- there is a certain enjoyment that humans have of listening and digging out signals in the noise, a certain satisfaction. Just like what CW  is other digital modes.....

Error concealment in this space (machine learning / neural networks) has a alot of capability to really improvement performance with missing segments.
