I switched to the later smaller bore MC on my TR250, I like the feel =
better, the old was stiff and very abrupt, still sporty, but much =
smoother now.  Agree that both will work fine from a clutch release =
range of motion standpoint if all is well with the linkage and =
hydraulics.

Worn out slave cylinder causes clutch release problems.
Worn clutch fork also.  Not the master cylinder being .70.
I would stick with the.70 mc. Unless you like a heavy clutch.
