I agree with you that the 200 isn't as impressive as the 100. The flip-up display, while possibly being a little easier to read, is just asking to be broken. A couple of years ago, when I was covering motorsports for a local radio station, I noticed that in the press room, amongst the guys with their fancy color multimedia laptops, at least 2 or 3 guys would be filing their stories on 100's. Built like a tank, and you don't have to try and hunt down a special litium battery in the middle of a race.
