would it be an upgrade sound quality wise if I replace MS200 with 218 under my current system setting?
For CD (1x sample rate) material, probably. The 218 is bound to have newer up-sampling code than the MS200. That said, you can up-sample in many places, so this is something that you will have to consider.
For material in general, possibly, but entirely dependent on output jitter. We have no measurements for either MS200 or 218. My gut feeling is that SPDIF output jitter is going to be lowish for both, and that ultra-low jitter on the digital outputs was not in the design brief for the 218.
