Don't worry about any loss over 200W+, focus on the panel cost. Extra Watts will give extra minutes at 15A.
Heck, get a 300W panel for $237 and you might get 15A at sunrise! :)
Of course, that panel cite was in jest for the MPPT 15.
However, it does highlight the BEST attribute of MPPT. That is, Volts don't matter so much as long as you stay under the Voc rating of the controller. MPPT gives you the freedom of choice of panel arrays that cannot be equaled with a 12V PWM design.
