if anything, the 200 might be a fraction more economical.
the 200 is a bit more agricultural-sounding - but I reckon most of that's
the extra sound-deadening on the 300 series...
The only things specific to the 300 which are more hassle ridden are the
serpentine belt tensioner and the cambelt. The one is cured quite simply by
replacing it and the other is cured by fitting the appropriate cambelt kit
if needed.
I don't think either of them are more prone than the other to head gaskets
going, TBH.
