Default 07 KTM 200 xcw vs 2011 gasgas 200 six days

I have read the other current 200 threads.

I had a KTM 300mxc and recently sold and got a 2011 GasGas ec300 race model. Love the GG ergos.
I also have a 2007 KTM 200 XC-W. I bought this bike with a blown motor(no oil in fuel) and rebuilt it using some of the shops recommended on KTMtalk. It's got the head modded by cycleplayground(squish set to 1.1mm), FMF gnarly and Q stealth silencer. AND I've spent some time on the jetting(currently loving the kawi needle). I think this bike(engine) rips from the bottom to the top. If I could change anything it would be to soften the bottom/first 1/8th a little(maybe throttle cam) to make it a little easier in the technical stuff.

Anyways I've been contemplating selling this KTM and getting a 2011 GasGas 200, but I'm concerned about the GG engine and if I can get it to run like my current KTM 200.(IE with head mod and some jetting work)
