Kongou, Kirishima, and Hiei all remodel at 75 while Haruna remodels at 80; so, 5 levels each will not be as bad. Kirishima has firepower even greater than the Nagato class while Hiei and Kongou have great FP while having armor that rivals Bismarck Drei.

Bismarck will only shine in a regular fleets or in the escort fleet. She needs to be able to utilize her torpedo stat and night battle capabilities; otherwise, she is just an expensive Kongou. Plus she uses 2 Blueprints.

All in all, if your Kongous are 70 as you say, I'd level Kongou Kirishima, and Hiei to Kai Ni. If you want to save resources, don't Kai Haruna unless you feel like you will put a BB in which can be a resource dump.

If you have Car Div 1 and 2 at high level, the crane sisters aren't as big priority unless you love them a lot and in that case, train until you fill your heart.

Fusou Kai Ni regains the FP she lost when transforming into a BBV while giving a huge plane slot which can help a lot with AS when using Surface Fleets.

May I also know the other ships you are trying to level.

Depending on how close they are to their final form and how many blueprints you have, pick what you feel is right. One last piece of advice, if you do choose to raise Bismarck first, don't remodel her to Zwei until she reaches 75 since there is miniscule difference between Kai and Zwei stats and there is a resource use spike making her leveling cost drastically higher.
