Hello Allen,

Thank you for the in-depth comparison!  I am currently between the Y7000 and Y730.  I am not a gamer, though I do dabble; perhaps this will be my gateway into more serious gaming.

I am mainly buying this for a machine to edit video (1080p and hopefully 4K) in Premiere or DaVinci Resolve.  Is there any reason not to go with the Y7000 considering the price point?  I've identified/configured units for both that are almost identical (Y7000 variant has 144hz refresh and 1060 for almost $400 cheaper).  At this point, I'm just hanging onto the Y730 for it's design (I do not care about RGB keyboard).

Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

David
