For my purposes, there is no quality difference between the 200/4 and the
200/5. The 200/5 does have a significant advantage for handling, however, that
compensates for the speed difference. Personally, I've opted to beep a 200/5
and a 180/2.8, choosing one when speed is an issue and the other when size is.
