I have an 800RB and love it- I'd think it would do exactly what you are looking for- it can sound quite grindy and pissed off if you want it to- more Boost= more grind.
I have no experience with the 700 but my understanding is it's generally cleaner and goes higher/deeper, where the 800 is more mid-focused and angry.

What Hz range does the boost/grind boost

I dunno. Hard to describe, you have to try it. It's the 'GK grind.'
