I love my C22, but I vote that you listen to both before deciding. A couple of thoughts on the C22 features you mention:
I do not like my loudness button--even at low volume, I prefer the sound without it--so I do not use it.
I do not understand the value my mode knob. If I play a mono recording, for example, it comes through both speakers as mono. So why do I need a knob? [Please advise if you know the answer]
I agree with the comment above that the fit and finish on the C70 appears better, but I have not seen one in the flesh.
Good luck choosing, keep us posted!
