The upgrades covering120 to 220Pm, the 200m to 220Pm and the 250m to 250Pm all cost £3k, simply because they all involve just about the same replacement parts. To be pedantic, it is possible that the 200 and 250 keep their existing phono/pre-out stages whereas the 120 gets a new phono/pre-out stage; and it seems that the 250 gets a new bottom plate in solid copper. But these are pretty modest differences in the overall scheme of things.

I do not agree those are modest. Those plus difference in output power was valued £1500 by Devialet. In my book that is opposite of modest.
I don't know internals of Devialets and i don't know what it really takes to upgrade. I guess the parts taken out of D200 (especially phono/preout boards) have some value, so why not to discount D200 owners by part of the £1500?
PS. I don't know, what is difference between ADH of D120 and D200, but based on what i heard on this fine forum, it is possible that they are the same (also same value) only D120 is software crippled. Would it mean that phono/preout value is most of the £1500?
PS2. Otherwise I agree with what you said.
