Two Obi200s vs One Obi202?

I am planning to add a second GV number to the one I have currently.  I already have one Obi200, am I better off adding a second Obi200 for my second line or just replace my existing Obi200 with an Obi 202?  Thank you for any advice!

The functionality would be basically the same. If you don't mind spending $25 more, I would get the OBi202. One box vs two.

Another alternative is just use the one OBi200. You can define both GV accounts on it and then use a cell phone with a softphone installed for the 2nd line. CSipSimple is a free softphone for Android and Zoiper is available for both Android and iPhone. You can use an old handset without a service plan. You can also use a computer with a softphone as the 2nd line.

Edit:

This is the setup:

Obviously, you would use your cell instead of an IP phone. You would have the 2nd GV defined on SP2 and route call to/from SP2 instead of SP1 in the link example.
