Having had lots of miles on 100s and 200s I know the answer to it. But since you asked it, I wanted to see what others thought. 8 hours yesterday, we swapped drivers on fireroads/offroad/mud/highway betwen 100 and 200. I had 4 friends drive both vehicles.
Consensus was, they all thought the 100 "felt smaller"
On the hills, they really liked the 5.7 of the 200 power.
Both trucks are exactly stock. 100 had K02 and 200 had General Grabbers. Both sets of tires are less than a week old.
Interestingly, they all preferred the steering of the 200. They all preferred the comfort of the 200 (they felt less beat up). They all preferred the power of the 200, and they all preferred how silent the 200 motor was.
Personally, I like the design and more intimate interior feel of the 100. BUT, if I were to have one truck, 200 it is for me, everyday.

GENERAL GRABBER ATX in 275
After almost 7 years, it was my first set of NON k02 tires on a rig. I was very impressed with them so far. The kind of offroad I do with the truck, it handled it beautifully. It did all I needed it to do.
In the sandy surface, it didn't have as much grip as I wanted, but that could be, I didn't air down at all. We will be out in the Glamis desert with the 200 later in the year and then will determine how it fully works out for me.
Loved it on the highway.

Yeah, had a friend buy it at middle east dealer and send it via post.
Looking great! My 2008 is also a clear glass version, but has a failing aftermarket tint job. Yours is making me consider stripping the tint and seeing how we like it without.
Did you buy OEM for the steering wheel switches? Mine look awful, and I'd consider replacing but I always assumed they'd be expensive.
I do see some ebay options from China that are VERY reasonable...

Thanks! I used to be all 20% tint all the way around. Has to be perfect match, couldn't have different front and back. Now I am old and all about the fishbowl. Time changes people I suppose.
I did purchase the OEM ones, yes. I didn't replace yet, as I will do the leather steering cover + buttons first, probably in in a few weeks, as we have a family wedding here happening in a few weeks, thus pretty busy with that.
If you decide to reinstall the TRD shifter and want to let the wooden one go, let me know! Mine is in pretty rough shape.

Wife likes the grandpa wood shifter (that didn't sound right), so for now it is staying. Once I get the leather on the steering wheel, will see if TRD works out better and keep you posted
