Oops, yes. I had assumed the 500/505 were also 200 dpi but they're not. They are 167 dpi. You might notice a difference between them and the 300. I picked the 300 over the 600 based on playing with each for about 2 minutes. I found the 300 easier to read, although I believe the difference is more due to the extra layer for the touchpad on the 600 as opposed to the difference in 167 dpi versus 200 dpi (the 600 is also 167 dpi).
