As I understand, once you get into the 700, you do the upgrade training (my buddy just did this) and then you bid on lines that are only 700 flying. It's treated like a totally different airplane for bidding.
The 200 is flown nose-down like a lawn dart all the way to runway impact, with only a minute flare. I often get three-point landings. The 700 (and 900) are flown level all the way down, then you flare, plant the mains, and hold the nose off for a while. You really have to see the 200 in the sim, it's hard to describe.
