I personally am finding that 600s exposures are easier to work with than 200s, even though I am getting like 12,000 ADU backgrounds.
You lose a bit of dynamic range and run a larger risk of losing a sub due to cloud or guiding error, but there's no major downside to going longer unless you start running out of well depth for details you want to keep.
