I don't expect a huge improvement in top speed but a couple mph will be nice.

Neighbor did the same switch - 200 O Pro to 200 HO and believes he picked up just about 5mph. If your 0 Pro was producing 200hp, the HO yields you about 18 more hp. Not enough for huge top end differential, but major differential from idle on up ref fuel economy , quite running, smoke, etc...
