I do not find any review that compared these two planes.
The 630 is very recent
Did anyone have tested one or both?
A feedback would be greatly appreciated
All the best

I have a Escape 530, it’s a wing that gets good speed. On my first try I reached 48 km/h.

Tried them both, they are basically the same shape just one is slightly bigger than the other. My guess is heavier riders/lighter winds combination.
I preferred the 630 over 530 in turns and carves, as you have that slight margin of not dropping if you loose the speed, although I have to admit, I liked the speed of the 530.
Personally I own the mirage 800, which is way more forgiving and relaxing to ride than these two and would not consider switching to escape any time soon.
