OK, I had heard it would replace the 706 though the 706 being as popular as
it is, would stay on the market for a while after the 7000 comes out but
that's just what I heard back in July, things can change as we all know.

It isn't replacing the 706. The 706 will still be manufactured. This
is an addition to the line, as it were.

I have the manual for the 7000, forget where it came from, but I
googled it anyway. It may well have lots of menus. The only things
that talk are S-meter, frequency, and mode. The menus don't
necessarily need to talk, so long as there's a beep somewhere to tell
what the default settings are and where the menu begins or ends. And
of course, it is computer programmable with the computer programming
thingy.
