Never heard of a 50cfm carb. If there is such an animal, it probably goes on a lawn mower.

Seriously, if you have a 500 cfm, and he wants to trade his 700 for it, then you need to decide if you actually need a 700. Probably not, so stick with the 500.

If your 650 is working for you, then stick with it. Why take the chance of having a 700 that you don't really know the history of?
