The M and A versions are actually somewhat (probably slightly) different - 6 elements in 5 groups for the M version, and 6 in 6 for the A. However, they are both very similar otherwise (except, of course, for the Ka electrical contacts - <g>). The M 200/4 is a "good buy" - since they are plentiful, they are usually inexpensive. And both versions are very compact lenses, as you suggested, for travel lenses. The built-in hood (although a little short for full flare protection) is a useful feature.
