Bought the P300, C200 and T100 as a group from (used electronics retailer) Thompson's Electronics in Eugene, OR in about 1996 for $900. Smokin' deal. Learned that the trio was on consignment from David Ogden Stiers (Major Winchester from M*A*S*H). Was mostly interested in the (legendary) T100 tuner, however, the P300 was excellent; smooth, powerful and surpisingingly detailed. Drove Acoustat 2+2's beautifully. The C200 was unimpressive; sold it fairly quickly. Kept the P300 for about 5 years. Know you didn't ask about the T100, but kept the T100 for about 20 years; it's a great tuner.
On a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of performance for what it is, where the T100 is a 10, I'd place the P300 at an 8 and the C200 at 4.
Have no idea what these things are selling for these days, but I'd think it a good buy at $1-1.2K for a good example of a P300 and wouldn't want a C200 at all, but can imagine others being happy with it in the $200-$300 range.
