The vocals on the 352 are really amazing, but the 7200 (and I assume 8900/9000) is faster, more precise and powerful probably due to the autoformer, not to mention it feels like a veil has been lifted when I switched from 352 to 7200 (but the "veil" is not necessarily a bad thing).
I'm a translator so when I work I mostly listen to instrumental music, but man the vocals on the 352 really was that good that it made me want to listen a little more.

Would guess it was more the tube preamp section in the 352 you were hearing compared to the solid-state preamp in the 7200. Tubes are noted for their work with vocals while solid-state is generally faster.
