What argument can I possibly make when it comes to the 'pros' and what they choose to ride? Like their Pros, they can ride whatever they want... Maybe we could talk about how Walkers 300exc uses the XC transmission, or how Lars Enokl (sp) was riding the TPI 300 in hard enduro long before it saw production. Point being, what the pros ride is irrelevant to what you and I ride.
As for the 300, lots of people buy 450s for no other reason than because they 'think' they need a 450. Usually when they drop down to something small they find out they are faster and less tired at the end of their ride. People buy the 300 on the 'hype' of it being a 300. It doesn't make any more power then the 250 and its torque numbers isn't mind blowing different than the 250. The 250 motor isn't quite as aggressive off the bottom, transitions smoother through the power range and revs out farther too. It's a much easier motor to ride than the 300 which peaks quickly and then signs off earlier...

I mostly trail ride with mates, we push each other occasionally and race occasionally. Not for sheep stations but gotta beat your mates. If it wasn’t for all the bent 300 pipes I see I would get one. I like the 350 because I won’t likely bend the pipe, and I can’t forget to top up the 2-stroke oil.
I have a SXF350 for the MX track and love it.
I’ve been to a few riding destinations and have ridden both the 300 and 350 with no complaints. I consider my 300 a 3 stroke, because it’s so easy to ride. You honestly can’t go wrong with either, but I ultimately chose the 300 after riding one in the gnarly woods type stuff. It’s just easier to ride and feels much lighter on the trails.
Not to mention it’s easy to work on and a little cheaper to maintain.
