A class of N=2 SYM theories with matter in  the antisymmetric and fundamental representation, which can have non-zero beta-function,  is studied using localization. It is shown that in the large N limit and at strong 't Hooft coupling the results for the free energy and the BPS Wilson loop vev can non trivially be mapped to that of a conformal theory with a replacement of the coupling lambda. This is potentially very interesting in view of a dual holographic analysis in thois non-conformal context.
