Just upgraded my D200 to D400. Also considered the move to D220 Pro, but the new Pro series has a profoundly different sound than the original Expert range, and in my setup the D400 was the choice better to my taste. I compared D200 to D220Pro and D400 before my decision.
And I must say, that I am a bit surprised by all people reporting to upgrade to D220 without even comparing to the D400. Both have their specific benefits. I did hear all before I decided and in my setup the D220 Pro didn't sound 'beter' but did sound completely different than the D200 and D400. Both sound signatures have their benefits. And you may prefer the one or the other depending on your setup. But in my setup the D400 was superior in many ways to the D220Pro so upgrading to double mono to me was the real no-brainer. And yes, both surprised the D200.
