The one issue that nobody has mentioned yet is that if you go for the 200GB drive, you will need to have either a motherboard that supports ata133 (or drives larger than ~137GB [more like 120gB]), or you need to get a ide controller card that supports the newer larger than 120Gb drives. Other than that, you do notice a speed difference between 2MB and 8MB cache (if you don't the other reason to get the 8MB cache is the 3 year warranty Vs. 1yr for the 2mb cache model).
Hope this info helps you decide
