The additional contents of each aircraft are very similar as the remote controller, chargers and batteries that come as standard are all the same. Both come with a carry case that is great for transport, however, the M200's case is slightly superior due to its design. It's easier to access the aircraft and the shape makes it more portable.

Summary
Both aircraft are some of the most outstanding products from DJI to date but which one would fit in with your needs betters? In Heliguy's opinion, the Matrice 200 is the ideal aircraft for industrial use. Its adaptability with cameras, quick setup and weatherproof design make it a versatile aircraft that can be used for industrial inspections, search and rescue and disaster relief, as well as many other sectors. The Inspire series was built for film makers, especially the Inspire 2. Its image capturing and processing quality are exceptional, giving brilliant results every time. It's fair to say you won't be disappointed by the performance of either aircraft.
