The 750 series has a good track record for fast, efficient runners seeking lightweight cushioning. Loyalists will be glad to hear that the 752--an update of the 751--doesn't deviate much from the formula.
The most important change is to the upper. New Balance has taken an already good-fitting upper, and made it sleeker and tighter, which secures the foot better. The midsole's the same as the 751, but the forefoot is lighter, more responsive, and provides better stability at toe-off. Our wear-testers appreciated the improved forefoot, and quicker runners preferred the ride of the 752 over the 751.
Bottom line: The 752 is lighter, more responsive, and fits better than the 751. If you do a significant amount of your training at higher speeds, you may want to try the 752.

The 752 is a good shoe that cushions the forefoot really well. It has a comfortable secure fit. The shoe was breathable and light. However I found the arch side support wore out quickly..
