Is there a big difference between a 250 and a 300?

Top-end power is pretty similar between 300’s and 250’s. Low-mid power is where the differences are…I find the 300 works better on the technical terrain with lots of elevation change that I ride. On more flowing trails, 250’s are more fun. Top-end power is pretty similar between 300’s and 250’s.
