I think what 55 Shaker said about the 700R4 having a big jump in ratio between 1st & 2nd gear is what the fellow at the car show was trying to tell me. He was saying the 200R4 was better at taking off from a dead start & that the shift to second was smoother. He did talk about some small upgrades that would make it better too but said that the additional costs would still make total cost less than the 700R4.
I had my doubts as I listened to him. I'll keep looking for a later model 700 as Alvin suggests. Thanks everyone.
