How we worked this out
450 - 450 gives 0 watts.
No edge in nominal capacity
Both stop at ten nominal cups, so a bigger family batch calls for a larger model and not a swap between these two.
How we worked this out
0 cups = 10 - 10.
The extra tools do different jobs
You cannot swap spiralizing for bowl scraping as a benefit.

Decision guide
How to decide
Choose 70735 for spiral and ribbon vegetable cuts. Choose 70730 for thick mixtures that repeatedly need food moved from the bowl wall.
On core specifications, they match
Ten-cup bowls, 450-watt motors and two speeds plus Pulse are shared by both. Those numbers give no reason to prefer either of these two versions.
Go with the hardware built for your job
Spiral and ribbon blades are what 70735 adds, while 70730 adds the scraper. They address separate kitchen tasks, so the right pick depends on which attachment would come out of the cabinet most often.
Produce shape still counts
Produce for spiralizing needs to be straight and suitably trimmed. A nominal ten-cup bowl says nothing about whether a large or curved vegetable will fit the spiralizer opening.
