I have ripped both apart and imagine you very well could do an exchange as they are remarkably similar although the cost of doing so would be prohibitive. Internally the materials used differ greatly with the EQ6 having a steel RA shaft whilst the EM200 appears to have a bronze RA shaft. The worm wheels on an EQ6 are brass whilst the EM200 has bronze wheels. Strangely the EM200 has a brass worm on the DEC and a steel worm on the RA whilst the EQ6 has steel worms on both axes. I have not checked parts side by side but from memory they seem very close.
