the M201 has only one hotend so you'll need the same filament for both of them, if the filament is a different materail then it might not work. And the hotend, it will reach above 270 degrees but the PTFE tube inside the end of the throat should be kept under 245 degrees, it it works above that temperature too long then it might be melted or decrease it's lifetime.
