I don't know but my guess is that the UB200 will be using some kind of MediaTek chipset while the UB900 (and UB70x) use Panasonic's own chip design - formerly known as Uniphier.
Right now it looks like these players have similar firmware and should have roughly the same quality - with a few features on the higher models the lower ones don't get:
"Cheap" chipset:
- DMP-UB200/300/310/314/390/400/404
"Better" chipset:
- DMP-UB700/704, DMP-UB900
