Is it really that hard to slow to 200 before going Flaps 8? The only time I can think of it being a major obstacle operationally would be with AI on.

Even back in early 2006 when I was hired at AWAC, we were recommended to wait until 200kts before deploying flaps as it was "easier" on the system. I seem to recall the Flaps 8 company limitation being 215, but that may not be correct...
