I actually recently demoed a 250 against a 200 and preferred the 200 by a long way so paying more doesn't always give you the result you are after. The d400 is certainly no slouch !
Very interesting. Can you expand on what you heard with the 250 vs the 200? I understand it's hard to be specific but the devil's in the details and what works for one person, system or room might be altogether different for someone/somewhere else.
But fundamentally, it is the problem with agreeing to buy an upgrade without actually hearing it first. I wouldn't have bought the 200 without first hearing it, so I'm quite hesitant to do so for the upgrade.
