Theoretically more accurate though this may mean you stop getting Strava achievements that you shouldn't have been getting! Battery lasts way longer and you still have a full phone charge for emergencies. But, if its for mountain biking the 200 isn't very good, you can't have 1 second logging, only smart logging. In my experience the trace you get as a result is pretty poor, distances incorrect and it causes missed segments.

Very true.
