I don't think anyone says the 200 is better. Just that at the end of the day for $2 less per hour, it doesn't matter.
When I started, I wanted the 900. Would have bid for it and gotten it, had it not been for a couple of wise, helpful fellas here who talked me into the 200. I took their advice, bid 200, and am very glad I did for movement alone. Who needs FADEC when a FODEC is more fun to talk to anyway?
