Difference between K200D and K2000?

There's a K200D and a K2000. I'd like to buy one but it's so confusing trying to compare features and prices. What's the key difference between them?

The K2000 is the "Small" or "Compact" entry level SLR from Pentax. The K2000 is an entry Level SLR and currently sells in the 550-625 range (Complete with external flash kit and lens). Auto focus on the K2000 is 5 vs 11 points, the 200 has a more solid construction (more stainless and less plastic), they removed the orientation sensor from the 2000, and No top LCD on the 2000 but the K2000 has higher ISO, the 2000 is faster, and Is quite a bit smaller/lighter. The K2000 was released to compete with the entry level cameras from Nikon (Eg; the Nikon D40), Canon, Olympus, Etc.... It has about the same size of a D40 but weighs quite a bit more.

Other than size, dropping the top LCD, improving the ISO, tossing in a few extra preset scenes, and dropping the number of AF points the two cameras are near identical.
