I180 was not enough, in and of itself, to reach 3 star stats - it took a certain craft/control food to do it, and that cost a ton of CP. Expect history to repeat itself with the i200 and 4 star stuff.
That's more because the i180 accessories were absolutely garbage, and had nothing to do with the left side i180 gear.
You can reach 3-star stats with full i180 left side/offhand + melded i170 accessories/belt + Seafood Stew. Heck, it'll even put you just 1 craftsmanship below the requirement for the ironworks crafted gear.

Expect 4-star requirements to be similar, with it being possible to reach with full i200 left side and melded i190 accessories/belt (possibly even i170), and either control/CP or craft/CP food.
