I always thought HP was the more important spec, but I guess I was wrong.

As simple as possible,.... HP is a unit of work. Torque is a unit of Force. The more force that can be applied over a given amount of time. the more work (HP). In a sense, Torque and HP are the same thing. However, if more torque can be applied over the same amount of time, more work (HP) can be done.

Also, is 200HP & 205 ft-lbs @4500 RPM a good engine?

"Good" engine? Don't know. Depends upon what you want it to do. Engines can be designed to produce lots of different torque at many different RPM points. It depends upon what you want that engine to do and at what RPM.
