Steve,

> So if my math is right that gives me about 70 sq ft of trapping that face the room in these corners as my ceiling is about 7 1/2 ft high. Is that a number that is significant enough to be worth the effort and new cosmetic appearance that would result? <

Yes!

> If I go through with making these units would it be better to pack them full of the 705 and not leave air space behind the corner units, or is the airspace beneficial? <

Solid is best, but there are diminishing returns. So you'd do better using the same amount of material to cover more total surface.

> Would a mix of say 2 inches of 703 and 2 inches of 705 be better than just 705? <

No. At least not for bass trapping.
