The Riviera and the Titleist 200 series are completely interchangeable. I play both and I can't tell the difference between them. The feel, flight path, feedback and requirements to hit a good shot are exactly the same. The price is night and day though; I paid fifty bucks a piece for the Rivieras and over a hundred for my 200 series wedges. If I need to replace or add to my wedges in the future I think I know which one I'm going for.......
Note: The Rivieras don't come in as many loft and bounce variations as the 200 series.
Both the Riviera and the 200 series are getting a little dated. It's an old design that has been surpassed by the use of new materials and design elements. They are both still fine clubs that allow a variety of shots with excellent workability, they require a pretty good swing to deliver peak performance and the narrow sole and somewhat unforgiving bounce angles work well for shot control in the hands of a good player. They are just not the best on the block anymore.
Oh, if you are looking for some game improvement assistance from your wedges then these are probably not the ones you should be looking at. Not much in the way of forgiveness on off center hits to be found here.
