    I've got a B200R too, and I know exactly what you're talking about point-for-point, pluses and minuses (though I don't think it's that heavy). And while I know nothing about the Phil Jones, at a glance it looks to me like you've got an apples/oranges comparison going on.

    Depends on how much you like apples. Me, I love apples, so I would miss them if I went solely to oranges.

    Maybe a different apple is what you need, friend. A juicy, 15"-equipped apple. Maybe a really affordable apple like the Acoustic B200. It's not lighter, but the buzz ain't a factor.

    In addition to radically different tone, keep in mind that you will lose a lot of volume with the PJB as well.
