I have a Nauticam D800. I am currently using a 200mm dome port for my 16-35lens. I got the 200mm port for dirt cheap , so I had to buy it. The question is, will the 230mm port give me dramatically better images/corners, or is it a slight improvement?

The answer is yes, the 230mm Zen is better with w/a rectilinear glass, DX or FX. I shoot 10-17 on FX with the 200mm but will only shoot the Canon 16-35 with the Zen 230mm on DX. Sure, it all comes down to image quality and the shooter's expectations. But if you are shovelling cash at FX, get the Zen 230... (or the new Nauticam rectilinear port)

Do you see a big difference shooting the 10-17 with a 200 vs a 100 mm dome port ?

I only use the DP-100 when shooting with the Tokina and Kenko TC (CFWA). However with just the Tokina the difference between the DP-100 and DP-200 should not be great but I'd expect the DP-200 will out-perform the DP-100 by a stop or two.
