This is a great deal, especially on the 200 Pro. Major differences between the AD200 and AD200 Pro:

1. Color stable mode on the Pro. Separate mode on the flash that narrows the variance in color across all power levels (5600K +- 100 degrees Kelvin).
2. Power range on the Pro goes down to 1/256th power in 1/10th stop increments (non Pro version goes to 1/128th in 1/3rd stop increments)
3. Mounting stand. The Pro has a friction ring stand attachment that allows you to position the flash in any angle. The Non-pro has a ratchet stand attachment that has notches. The friction ring on the Pro can have problems with very heavy attachments/modifiers and can creep down. Robert Hall on YouTube changed the ring to a rubber ring and this eliminates the problem, but won't be a big deal unless you have huge attachments. If you use a different bracket for modifiers anyway, it will have its own mounting solution.
4. Physically a little different. The Pro's screen is a little recessed behind a plastic lip which can help protect the screen against impacts from falling. The Non-pro doesn't have this. I had one of my Pro's tip over and slam on the back in high winds. The plastic lip is scratched to hell, but the screen is still pristine.

There are a few more minor differences, but those are the big ones. Neither one has a mount for modifiers (Bowens, Elinchrom, etc). You will need a bracket to use modifiers. For Bowens, you can get the S-Type bracket or the AD-B2 dual-head adapter.

If you don't have one of these already and are looking, I suggest going with the Pro over the original. I have 2 (soon to be 3) of the Pros and I'm happy with them.

SVIPER9 brings up all the differences...
VERY helpful for those needing the flash.
In my experience...
I use the Pro and the non-Pro. The SINGLE difference that almost makes it worth getting the Pro is the mount. The Pro has a pin that stops it from spinning/unscrewing, while the nonPro is just a screw mount and loosens and is bothersome. If $30 is a daily lunch ticket, get the Pro for sure. If the 1/256 power is important, that may also be a point, but otherwise, if $30 can be saved for something else, save it.

I use both, and the nonPro has not been a issue on a shoot. I have taken a few seconds more to get the nonPro to be in the right position on critical lighting shoots. But thats all.
I may use a thread locking glue on the threads and that would be solved(or another solution). They are both great, and the Pro is just better in refinements and use.

Great deal, OP. I'm seeing $309 for the 200 Pro. Did I miss it? :-(
