The 3000 is specifically designed to work on non active circuits. If you tone wet circuits, the tone will be subdued to a point that, in a dense wiring group, you may have a hard time distinguishing which pair has the tone. You may falsely identify a pair only to find it is just some bleed over.

The 200, with it's mating toner is designed to offer some better detection capabilities in wet and crowded cable bundles. Whereas the 3000 can almost be silent on a network cable, the 3000 will provide some trace tone, even if it is very weak. The network flash feature of the toner is a real help.
