Why not check that out first?
Some airlines, such as UA and US, no longer allow you to take the $200 change fee out of the fare difference if the new fare is lower than the old fare - that is, you have to pay the $200 no matter what. If the new fare is lower than the old fare, you pay $200 and lose the difference.
