Dave, I agree 200 is excess power if you use all of it all of the time. I upgraded mine because it was almost time to send the 160 in and I wanted the newer power pack and upgraded electronics. The extra power is nice when flying out of my 400 ft strip with full fuel and smoke loads. A real plus was that the newer Jet Central Rhino 200 burns about 20 percent less fuel. I like to fly about 7 minutes takeoff to landing. With the 160 Rhino I was landing with about 20 percent fuel (standard tank). With the 200 Rhino have land with 40 percent reserve.
