I think the phono stages are the same, however, later firmware updates have added some additional functions or adjustability to the 200 and higher models. Beyond that, I believe that with the same settings they are sonically the same.
I think that the 200 > 400 future option as well as additional inputs are the key differences, or reasons that one would go to the 200. There is a power difference, but personally, I think they sound the same. Others have said that there is an audible difference, so perhaps your dealer can do a side-by-side comparison.
