I know this doesn't contribute to the conversation at all, but I am having the exact same dilemma.
I noticed that the 735xt is only $50 more on Amazon and will ship next week. I've thought about getting that a couple of times over the past few days. Just with everything I've read it seems the software is more up to date to work with all of Garmin's Connect software. Again, this is all in research so I have no idea and I'm glad you asked the question.
There's a 645 non-music that'll save you money but I'm seeing factory certified refurb 935s discounted to only $100 more than a 735XT, same price as the 645 "non-music."
Opinions are going to differ on generational trade-offs but, to me, the UX/UI makes a huge difference.
