LOL, I -wish- we had only a 700 page manual. Our app is also "just" a bunch of database maintenance and query screens - around 1,300 of 'em.
One thing I know from experience about UI's -- it is impossible to please everyone. But if you include personalization and navigation options to cater to the novice user to the super user, or anyone in between, you will come about as close as possible. For us that means help functions and tailorable (simplifyable) menus for the newbies, and keyboard shortcuts and so forth for the super users.
I also believe responsiveness (speed) is paramount. An app that grabs control from the user for more than a second or two at any point has high user-frustration potential.
