There was a time I struggled with the same... I bought a D200 with the intent to eventually add a 2nd for a D400. But then Devialet released the 220/440 Pro CI. I ended up replacing my D200 with a D220 Pro CI. To my ears, the improvement was in refinement, detail and clarity. While there was certainly something magical about the D200, the D220 was a nice improvement Since then I added a 2nd 220 Pro to make a 440 Pro. I think going from a D220 to a D440 was a bigger jump than D200 to D220.
Good luck with the decision. There is no bad one.
