As far as I'm concerned, the usefulness of a machine is what use you make of it. There are people using "Road Apples" quite happily, not caring what other people think or have said about their machines.
It sounds to me like you have a perfectly nice setup. The Q700 was one of the first (if not the first) Quadra, which makes it somewhat dated by the later standards, but it's still a perfectly capable machine. Your QuadDoubler makes it even more so. If you've put as much work into painting it, I'd hang onto it and use it. Sure, a QuadDoubled 840AV might be faster, but it wouldn't be your customized machine either.

Greetings! I have been reading the Quadlist for a little while now, choosing to "lurk and learn" for a bit before posting here. I see little to no talk regarding the Quadra 700 thus far on this list. Is this particular CPU just not popular here, or have I just not been lurking here for a long enough time? I mean, is it considered to be a less-than-good choice of '040 CPUs? I occasionally find references to various problems regarding the flashing question mark when booting. But, other than that, it just seems to be less popular. Why is that? Is there something about my 700 that I am missing? -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
