In 2.0, the set up was originally Darklight at ilvl70, then AF+1 and raid gear (Allagan) was ilvl90. Both being same ilvl, but different secondary stats. 2.4 it was Ironworks gear (ilvl120) and Final Coil gear (ilvl130). You could upgrade the Ironworks gear to ilvl130 if you got the upgrade item drops from Final Coil or do hunts and get them through seals.

So either SE will keep with tradition and make Esoterics ilvl190 with upgrade items in raids/hunts to 200, or skip that all together and just have it be ilvl200 gear at the base. I say it does not line up with Savage gear because SE has already said that Savage offers the highest ilvl gear, so I believe they mean for armor also. So that is why I think Savage is ilvl210. Only a theory tough and SE could pull of something completely different.
