I have played both the 201 and the 202. I can't really tell any difference in how they play as far as sound, response, and intonation goes, but the 202 is a much better built instrument than the 201. I believe many of the flaws people have found with St. Pete's were corrected with the 202. The valves and slides fit better and move faster. The linkage is all metal. It has more bracing including a brace that sets the leadpipe off of the body of the horn. The finish is much smoother. The metal is still quite thin, but it seems a little harder.
