USG 300 vs USG 200

Is there *that* much of a difference between the USG 300 and 200 in terms of performance or "horsepower"?

I'm pretty long winded, so I'll try and keep this one short:

Many of you know I got a USG 200 for the main office at work for a network containing about 100 devices [but only 50 actual PC users, mostly on older, slow XP machines].

Anyway, as traffic load has increased, so has CPU. Friday it hit roughly 98% according to the daily log.

I *KNOW* I didn't buy enough router, but trying to get my work to buy a $1000 router when in the past a "$100 linksys" did the job is an uphill battle.

PS The increased CPU load really didn't show up until we started hosting some of our own audio streams. In short, our "upload" BW usage and climbed quite dramatically recently, and that coincided with progressively higher CPU usage.
