Steve DawsonIf I had to decide between one of these two sets, I'd go with the T202.
I'm one of the seemingly few people who actually like the T207 set. I've always been a fan of the "old west" and the T207 set just to me anyway, has an "old west" feel to it. The big problem with collecting the set is that many of the cards are seldom seen in any grade, let alone a "high" one. Everyone talks about Lewis, Lowdermilk and Miller, but there seem to be several others (Mike Donlin comes to mind) that are at least as tough. One other drawback in the minds of many people is the lack of hall of famers...there are only 13 in the set; with the biggest being Walter Johnson and Tris Speaker. The cards of Harry Hooper, Bill McKechnie, Speaker and Bobby Wallace are also very tough to find in any grade.
The T202 set on the other hand, is pretty easy to find, with high grade cards not being that difficult. Additionally, pretty much all the hall of famers of the era are in the set. It's also one of the most innovative sets of all time.
Which ever way you go, good luck...both sets are nice!
