I am also intrigued by the 200. I absolutely loved my KTM200's and KDX's. That 200cc motor is just about perfect for our tight NW woods. I have never ridden a Gasgas, but from everything I've read it seems like it could be a perfect fit. KDX-like motor with Gasgas suspension and ergos. IMO the KTM was too snappy and the KDX motor with mods was just about perfect.
But, one thing I like about my DE300 is that I dont have to be as busy as I was on the smaller bikes. I really like how my 300 can carry a gear high coming out of corners and in the tight stuff. It also seems to track a bit better and seems more planted, maybe because of the extra weight or inertia.
There are certainly trade-offs with each bike.
I just need both a Gasgas 200 and 300 to solve this dilemna
