I've heard it is like a better flipping 200. I liked the two 200s I had, except the flipping.
I'm pretty new to flippers (the 0909 was my first flipper and I only have 3 now) and I've never had a 200, so I can't compare them. It isn't as quite smooth as my 0452 (but it sounds like not much out there is) and it has a much stiffer detent, which I like for what I use the 0909 for. Even when I've had the pivot far dirtier than most people's knives will ever get, it's opened and locked reliably. The only times it hasn't involved stuff getting in the pivot while I'm using it, then freezing on bitterly cold days.
I wouldn't necessarily call the flipping action refined. I'd call it solid and reliable. That actually matches the rest of the knife perfectly. Hope this helps.
