I think you mean 24" but yeah, I have this set and it's a nice size for retrogaming.
This reminded me of how Canada used to measure TV size differently. In the USA, the size is the viewable area. In Canada, and I assume the UK (which is probably where Canada got the idea), the size is the actual front of the tube, including the part under the bezel. So you ended up with a 27" TV being called a 28" or 29" in Canada.

This is actually a coin-flip situation since the XBR200 was a very high quality set. The features are pretty much the same on the FV300, despite the XBR being made three years earlier.

I'd get whichever one was used less, if that is possible to know. Otherwise, get whichever one appears to have been used less.
