The ec200 does come with a 2k-3 ignition - the DE200 comes with the 2k-2 ignition. Only de200s are being imported into the u.s. at this time - which accounts for your dealer stating that they are not available with the 2k-3 ignition.
You will want to go with a flywheel weight on the 2k-2 ignition for riding the terrain here in the wintertime (I live in Portland). One advantage of the lighter ignition is that you can configure the behaviour by swapping on and off different flywheel weights - for example, put on the flywheel weight for the riding the coast range and remove it to ride at China Hat in Bend.
The flywheel effect on various configurations are given in the article in the tech articles of the website - it is entitled "Flywheel effect". In addition to the flywheel weights listed - Steahly makes an 11 ounce flywheel weight for the gasgas. FYI - Glenn (GMP) is riding tight northeast woods and has used both the 2k-2 with flywheel and the EC ignition and currently prefers the 2k-2 + flywheel weight. You might want to ping Glenn for more detail.
