202 Versus 201 Stainless Steel

I would like to know the difference between 202 and 201 stainless steel. Also, is 202 more difficult to purchase, and is it more expensive than 201?

My big book of alloys say that 202 has a little more Cr, a little more Mn, and a little more Ni than 201. Based on that I'm sure it is at least a little more expensive.
