Why do you need a 200A service? If you need more spaces for circuits, just get a panel rated according to the wire that is coming in from the service, but with more spaces than the one you have now. Unless you are adding something that takes a lot of juice, you can almost certainly keep the service size you have now and increase the number of circuits that are on it. That will save you a bunch of money. And it is possible to do without permits, though I really wouldn't encourage you to try.
Here's a 30 Circuit 125A Panel (there are probably others. This was the first one I could find):

You need to double check the ampacity of the service wires before this is a good solution. Your existing panel has a split bus and a total of 20 circuits. The siemens panel above would give you another 10 circuits.
So why do you need the 200A service?
I went with Siemens because they support 2 pole afci when I did my FPE panel replacement. Buy the panel online (best price) and get the breakers at home depot or lowes with a 10% off movers coupons. If doing a replacement more spaces is usually better.
Make sure the panel is sized correctly as well. The quick and dirty panel sizing guide is a 2" pipe supports 200 amps; 1 1/2" is 150 amps; ect... make sure you have a big enough pipe for the panel. Same goes for the wire for the mains; make sure the AWG is correct.
