I love my 700R4, but 2004R's are stronger and actually have even better gearing.
200R4 is not stronger stock than a 700R4 stock. Both can be increased in strength.

700R4 has a lower first gear (3.06 vs 2.74). Coupled with a high axle ratio like 3.08/3.23/3.42 it helps with "best of both worlds" startability and economy on highway. It also has a lower reverse if that helps. Overdrive is about the same at .67 and .70. That is one of the reasons I prefer a 700 over a 200.
