Two things I'd love to learn more about...
1) Description of the sound quality changes between the 200 and the 220 Pro... what are they and how obvious are they?
2) Is the change more toward what a 400 would bring or is it something quite different?
Basically, I'm wrestling with whether to consider a 200 to 220 Pro upgrade or add a Companion for a D400 (or just 2nd D200 given availability on the used market). Can't afford to get to a 440 Pro at this time. My gut says the 220 Pro upgrade is the smart long-term decision, but only if there is a substantial improvement in SQ. It ain't cheap.
