I'd go with the Pelican 1514 version of the 1510 if you want to store other goodies with your 200mm f/2. Otherwise go with the plucked foam and custom-fit it so it's nice and cozy!
I use one of my 1514 cases to cart around my Profoto B1 strobe, batteries, chargers, spare clamps, clothespins, gels, PocketWizard III triggers, and any extraneous junk that I need on set. It takes a beating on the mean streets of NYC - the wheels especially on craggy sidewalks and rough asphalt, and it protects the gear well! I've never felt the gear was at risk in the case, as long as the whole case itself isn't dropped, and even then, it'd take a hell of a hit if your gear is well packed and has no room to shift around inside the case.
I have a second one that I use as storage at home for my photo/video DSLR camera bodies, batteries, chargers, smaller prime and zoom lenses, and even a 4x6.5" Chrosziel matte box, filters, and a follow focus.
The padding is generous, the case voluminous for chunky chubby things like 200/2 and 300/2.8 lenses, it's wheeled, and it's carry-on friendly on most domestic and international aircraft. Also: lockable if you don't want to risk your kid opening the case/spilling the $$$Expensive contents onto the floor
Hope this helps...
