I didn't know that it was released in UK/EU, but in the US during 2009 for a short time Garmin sold a 'version' of the 200W which had the external appearance of a regular 200W and the innards and fw of the non-mtk 2x5W with hwid 0827. Go figure why the heck they did that. It rates almost as high on the stupidity list as when they released the "nuvi 295W" [which isn't even remotely a 2x5W series device at all].
So if blackangel82 has a 200W with HWID 0872, that's what he's got: the 're-released' 2009 model.
In my opinion Caty is correct, and you need to take care with flashing to 465. I've done it without problems with 0872 255W & 265W using only pouchx's modded fw. I don't think it's posted anywhere on Noeman, and maybe that was the thread you had linked. If not, search for it.
US/EU 2xxW or 465 devices cannot use JCV. Maybe flashing to SG/MY will do that. Another big risk of bricking if you have the wrong version of PCB though. I wouldn't bother with it because of TTS problems anyway.
