I don't know what other people are talking about
I own a 2019 200g2 and a 2023 pro xs 250 and granted the G2 is on a R93 ranger and merc is on a 520 r
My first impressions are the merc is a big heavy pig.
The G2 feels like a sports car and the merc like a big old heavy caddy with nitouskit for top end
But the G2 is like a nimble quick Corvette.
