I don't think it is as easy as 4 stroke or 2 stroke.

I have a 01 520 EXC it is a awesome bike but it has a few drawbacks for tight trails, it has too much power, when you want to go fast between turns etc.. it is tough to hang on to, it will go slow or fast but in between is not there when you are on tight trails and want to be a little aggresive.
it is the perfect bike for open trails, desert and anywhere you want to go really fast. my answer was to buy a 200EXC 2 stroke for tight and keep my 520 EXC for open stuff.
The 200 EXC is perfect for tight or fast trails, but for long sustained speed like desert you have to be on or off the pipe in a 2 stroke where the 4 stroke would be easier to ride at a constant speed.

So last it depends on you, a DRZ400 can do tight woods the motor is a little more subtle than the 520 and it can do desert constant throttle stuff. It just might not be as fast in the woods as the 200 EXC can be or pure  power and speed as a 520 EXC is. I am crazy enough to want both, my opinion is your is a great compomise if you do not want to buy both.
