What is the quality of the $200+$15 MTTs?

Just wondering how competitive the $200 MTTs on Party are. I have been considering trying to qualify for the weekday tournaments playing the $20 sattelites, but I have no idea how I'd fare in the big tourney. I fare respectably in the $10 MTT at night (usually with about 2000 players). I've played 5 times, ITM twice (once placed in the 40's). I figured getting ITM in one of these tourneys could be +ROI for me, but I have no idea what I'm getting into.

My theory is there probably aren't a lot of people buying in directly, so there may not be a large difference in player quality, but I don't want to invest a lot of money only to find out that this thought couldn't be farther from the truth. I'm a breakeven player, but not a world beater by any stretch of the imagination.

I have only played in a few of these (mostly the Super Weekday or Weekend tourny's) which was a while ago anyway. What I noticed, a lot of decent players who get entry through lower level buy-in's, still plenty of donks, but I think overall the quality of play gets better earlier. Rather than the 100 players left are good, more like 200-300 players left are pretty good in these tournys, again its been a while for me.
