I don't have actual numbers, but the car normally stays at 700 (2 ticks above the 500 mark). Lately it's idling between 600-700. Is this normal?

What are you saying? Have you completed the AutoRX clean and rinse and your idle has dropped slightly? I just finished my rinse phase less than 2 months ago and my idle hasn't changed one iota. Cleaning your IACV might be another matter.

I'm still in the cleansing stage and the idle has dropped slightly, it never dips below the lower number, however. Environmental conditions shouldn't affect it no?

My idle is always at 700 rpm. I believe the factory spec is slight lower but who cares?

Obviously he does. Why are always such a ***** in these AutoRX threads? If you don't want to answer the questions, don't, but don't be a d!ckhead.
