Yes, the standard-tread tractors are usually higher-priced than the row-crops, unless you're talking about the more uncommon row-crops - BNs, GHs, AHs, BWHs etc. Standard tread tractors were usually produced in much smaller numbers than row-crops. The only standard-tread tractors Deere produced in anything approaching large numbers were the D, R, 80, 820, and 830/840 as they were only available that way - and 80s are pretty rare as they only built them for one year, I believe. Some other standards can be fairly rare, like some of the all-fuel and LPG versions, low-seat 60 standards, etc. They do tend to be more "valuable", but a tractor is only worth what the buyer will pay and the seller will take. Just because a guy thinks his tractor is worth $8000 and is asking that, doesn't mean anyone will pay him anywhere near that much. As far as desirability, that's up to the individual. I don't really know if there are that many more guys that want standards than rowcrops, but anytime you have a smaller supply for a similar demand, prices will be inflated. One thing that keeps a lot of guys away from the standards, especially the later ones, is that they are large and heavy - to haul and to work on. My two cents -good luck with the 70D.
