Opinions on Yamaha F225

[schooner]

Am repowering a 1985 Sceptre and was going with a Yamaha F225 until the dealer offered the opinion that the 200 HPDI would give the same performance and efficiency for $2,000 less. Also said that older designs do not carry the 600 lb weight as well as newer boats that were designed with these heavier motors in mind (8'6" beam etc). HPDI is about 110 lbs lighter. Anyone out there with an F225 on a 23 that wishes they bought something different?

Thanks in advance.
