Jay,
I understand your indecisiveness.  I can tell you that I sold my YZ125 (hare scramble/mx bike) and considered a KTM 200, but bought a 2001 KTM 400MXC in July.  I have not regretted it one bit!  The bike is MUCH more forgiving than a 125.  Easier to ride.  Less nervous.  I can now concentrate on the trail instead of my clutch and shifting.  I did add stiffer springs for the sandy whoop de doos around here.  The ride is very plush.  You cannot get away with murder on it like a 125 (big mistakes), but it is rather forgiving.  Also my father recently bought a 400EXC.  I have ridden them several weekends back to back and can tell you it's hard to notice a hell of a lot of difference.  The EXC's tank feels a bit lower.  He liked my range and so he even bought an MXC tank.  I have to admit I like NOT having to fuel during the hare scrambles anymore.  The E start has also allowed me to start in the top 2 at each race so far this year.  A nice advantage as well.  As you can tell, I'm not missing the YZ 125...heck, I'm thinking of selling the YZ 250.    Feel free to ask me any questions...and good luck with your decision!
