The 250 2T to me is the most versatile. Its got a softer bottom end/low revs similar to a 250F, but with a top end that rivals (and in most cases smashes) the 300 2T. Depending how you set the engine up they can have more/less aggressive transitions. The stock 2014 EC250R I rode was silky smooth in comparison to my 2013 250R with head work and some port matching - obviously not as strong either, but as above can easily be chugged and lugged around off the pipe in pretty much all instances.
The snappy/aggressive manner is simply that the power curve ramps up quicker than a 300 which begins by making more sooner. They aren't even close to feeling like a 250MXer, and nothing like the old school light switches.
