The 8200 had a mechanical drive single-sickle header while the 8400 had a hydraulic double-sickle head. The 8400 also had a turbo engine, two speed ground drive and direct-drive pumps instead of belt-drive. For these reasons the 8400 might suit you better but of course it will cost more. Most of these heads had intermeshing rubber-on-steel conditioners; you would have to get up to an 8450/8250 vintage machine to find mostly steel-on-steel rolls in the sickle headers. However, I believe you can swap out the rubber roll for a steel one in a rubber-on-steel header but you'd have to check me on that.
