Hi Chris,
The cameras are really near-identical aside from those two differences. There are, however, a couple other small changes. The A710 IS is lighter (7.4oz to the A700's 8.8oz), offers an additional aspect ratio choice (3:2), and a couple extra manual settings (more white balance options, etc).
Really, though, the main advantage of the A710 IS is the image stabilization. It will rescue many, many shots that would otherwise be irretrievably blurred by hand movement either at long zoom or in low light.
The price in difference isn't really that big. The A710 IS is going for around $323 at Amazon these days, while the A700 isn't even there anymore--looks like it's being phased out. Despite the $219 price you see when you search for the A700 here on DCHQ, if you actually go to the price comparison page, the only price available is $309 from a single store.
Personally, I think the A710 is worth the little bit extra, but you might also want to consider the A640 and A630 if you're looking to shave a few dollars. No image stabilization, but the image quality is reputed to be greater than either of the A7xx models, and they're both cheaper.
Good luck!
