Besides possible wind deflection (which can be equally learned for all trajectories) I personally don't see the "hands down" win. The 204 is flatter shooting than either you recommend. Has plenty of energy for varmint sized game. 200 yards is far far far away from the lethal limit for small critters, coyotes...Maybe, but ground hogs, squirrels, and prairie dogs have been taken well further than twice that range.
