as to the scale it is only about a 1/4" diff so you can intermingle these with you 700th  and you can use 700th p/e detail sets too

 

Hello: Do not take the indicated scale too literally. I am halfway in the process of building a Italeri carrier. My box depicts something like  1/700. However, the sprues have 1/720 engravings. 

 

Haven't figured out yet what makes them think to write 1/700 on the box although the sprues indicate 1/720.

The kits are what you can make of them. As Durr said, don't sweat the 720-700 scale difference. With some PE work and good reference material, you can make very nice models from the kits. Be prepared to add some detail work to the island and masts, but enjoy. Mike

Got a place blowing a bunch out at half price.  Any I should bother with?  Why 1/720th?
