Funny you should say that, my 200 arrived yesterday. It feels great in the hand and now has the Varusteleka makers mark and a sharpened spine. I have some wood from a few trees and shrubs I have had to prune so it will get a quick test on them later. The shorter blade is very comfortable out the book and excellently balanced in the hand, you can comfortably move your hand in the various positions which you can with the big brother. It does the have the first 5 cm of the blade with the different grind for the finer work.
I have the 240, 200 and mini in the skrama range the pukkos I have the 110 and 140
I will post side by side photos soon of the lot of them
Measured my knives.
Blade length.
-200 = 200mm
-240 = 230mm
Blade width.
-200 = 38mm
-240 = 45mm
Afraid I can´t. I have no scales and my hands are not precise enough. Logic say 200 must be lighter but how much I do not know.Can you do a weight difference please? I know... I'm getting waaayyyyy analytical , put it down to Lockdown fever.

Varusteleka say on their page: 200 = 370g / 240 = 520g.
Teedee out of interest is the skrama to fulfil your needs of a matchete?
Have you made any adjustments to the Skrama? If you were doing to include anything to go 'with it' on the sheath or lanyard what would you include??
Not changed the skrama at all.
If I were going to the jungle again and taking it I'd add my usual rope belt and bycle inner tube to the sheath. Rope belt for preference, inner tube as tinder and to give you fighting chance if stitching rots on you
Other than that I guess the back is big enough for a DC4 or something if you're that way inclined
