I like the 700 over the 200. Having worked in a transmission shop that did R&D for a major converter and racing parts manufacturer, we found that the 7004R was more versatile AND durable.
I'm running a 700 behind a virtually stock 153 Chevy II engine in my little rat rod and it's been trouble free!! Downtown traffic or interstate highway, the backroads and hills of Tennessee, nothing seems to phase it!!
I just experimented with the detent cable adjustment until it ran and shifted the way I wanted it to and it's been perfect!! It was a little tall in overdrive with the 3.00:1 for hills and such, but a change to a 3.50:1 was superb.
