Count me as another VP-200 fan...and I haven't even installed mine
yet. I got the last one after the VP-300/400s came out, a refurbished
unit that the owner traded in for a VP-400.
Why did I want the -200? For the same reasons Matt cited. I just
don't see the benefit of merely replacing some circuit breakers that
is essentially the role of the VP-X.
For a couple of years now I've thought that the logical next step for
VP would be to provide an add-on for the -X to achieve all or most of
the -200 functionality. With the -X physical switches handle only very
low power triggering currents. Those triggers could be provided by an
onboard computer, like the -200 offers. Furthermore, you wouldn't have
to replace all your physical switches. Just put the onboard computer
behind the panel, wire each physical switch in parallel to the
computer, and have a small LCD screen on the panel to provide system
status info.

Thanks Matt! I will definitely keep Matronics up to date on our products. I don't know of any plans at this time to bring back anything like the VP-200 and the VP-300/400 is no more. The concentration will be on the VP-X and the development of the primary power system, which is in a second engineering review state.
Glad you like your 200's though!
