The 204 is the newer model, and I believe the 203 is already phased out, or in the process of being so. Besides, the 204 has three angles as opposed to the 203's single angle.
The third is for scissors, I believe.

Get the Sharpmaker 204. There'll be no regrets.

The 204 is what you want. It took me a couple of days to really get the technique down, but I can now take a $2 knife and get it shaving sharp.
Just make sure you get a burr on one side first, before going to the other side.After that it is cake.
Still wish they had COARSE stones though (are you listening Sal

)

I love my Spyderco Diamond sleeves! Take the steel right off! Also sharpens my ceramic blades. Best things, they are from my old 203 and they fit!

Get the 204, it'll drive you crazy not being able to store the stones in it if you don't. I was stupid and didn't make sure the one I bought thru the mail had a pouch, so I guess that isn't really an all inclusive thing. The extra angles are nice too, and HOPEFULLY we'll be able to get diamond sleeves again soon (hint, hint,Sal).

Just because I talk to myself doesn't mean I'm crazy. What's wrong with getting a second opinion?
