I probably would not want a 200bar manifold on a steel twinset that I regularly fill to 250bar though.

Most regs today have a 300bar DIN fitting, at least all the ones I would use in technical diving. The problem is more at the fill station, if they have only 200bar DIN fittings on their fill whips or if they have A-clamps only. With a 300bar manifold, you can't use the usual little insert to turn it into a yoke. With a 200bar, you can. So if you buy a 300bar manifold, it is wise to buy adapters: one to turn your 300 bar DIN female into a 200bar DIN female, and one to turn your 300bar DIN female into a yoke. This adds to the price, but it is handy to have anyway.
