The 200 is newer and if you go for cup spec you get firmer suspension, quicker steering rack, less weight but obviously less kit. 197 f1 has the limited edition with recaros and all the toys ( if that's what your after) 200 is quicker top end and shorter 2nd 3rd and 4th, most 197 f1s will also be due a cambelt now too. Its really down to your budget mate and ofcourse if you like the 200 nose. Ff 200 can be speced up to f1 level of kit and both 200s get the nice painted diffusers and refind engine ( 3 horse more + better mpg ) will most probably be corrected on some of these I'm sure!
