If there's one feature that tempts me to use Chrome it's per-tab process management
Well, with your use case of 200+ tabs, you can't get per-tab process management with Chrome:

It is more of a marketing gimmick anyway

If speed is all you want then Chrome beats Firefox. If one tab per process is the one feature you need then Chrome beats Firefox. In all other ways Chrome is inferior to Firefox.
Standards support? A few wins on both sides, but both are good enough.
Tabs? Don't make me laugh; Firefox plus its extensions make tab handling and management lightyears more sophisticated than Chrome. There is simply no way a tab fiend like myself can seriously use Chrome.
UI? Firefox's UI is okay, Chrome's is an abortion of an abomination... and a lot of it [i]can't be fixed[/]. Some people (Thom...) may like this ugly, unusable and unfriendly interface, and for them it's a match made in heaven, but for me it's like nails on a chalkboard at best... and completely unusable at worst. It reminds me of what it feels like to run Windows, where I feel trapped and constricted and frustrated at every turn. My blood pressure just can't take it.
I like speed as much as, and probably far more than, the next man. I typically run Firefox with 200+ tabs open at a time and any improvement in efficiency helps me more than it helps you by a LOT. Even so the disadvantages of Chrome outweigh the advantages.
If there's one feature that tempts me to use Chrome it's per-tab process management. If I can get that in Firefox I'd be happy.
