Why only these two? What about beyerdynamics? They are pretty decent too and would be equally as good IMHO.

It might be useful to get more of a handle on what you enjoy about your music. How much bass body and kick would you like, do you really want open back, does a bright treble annoy you etc.
This is easy. Get the 701. Better sound, better build, and lower cost. The Grado gets a premium price because it's more hand-made (not better), and because of distribution channels and exclusivity. Now if you were talking about paying twice as much for the PS500, I might say go for it because it does sound especially good, in spite of the price.
