The Arrow 200B (Hershey Bar) is not too disimilar in general handling to the Arrow 4 (T-Tail, tapered wing.) Neither are prone to floating like an Archer in my experience, probably a combination of weight and the extra drag from gear which is designed to be folded away and gear doors - also the CS prop disc will be finer and draggier at idle than the fixed pitch prop on an Archer whish is a compromise between climb and cruise settings.
The main difference is that the Arrow 4 suffers from little pitch up/down on gear retraction/extension due to the stabilator being out of the airflow to a large degree and thus less affected by the change when the gear cycles.
The other difference is that the stabilitor authority is not as good on the T-Tail at lower airspeeds - not a problem, but you have to hold off very firmly to avoid wheel barrowing.
IMHO, neither feels as sprightly as a good example of an Archer 2 or 3, which will give you a better rate of climb at full power, when compared to climb power on an Arrow of 25 and 25.
