Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I have a 500. I say get the 500 unless you are 100% certain, you don't need Cadence or HRM. Then the 200 is a good capable unit. lack of Navigation maps doesn't bother as I always have my Android with offline maps loaded (I have two offline mapping proggies installed, MapswithMe and Sygic) I have yet to use them in a "lost on Bike" context.
