[OM] 200 or 300mm Zuiko prime?

I'm thinking of expanding my Zuiko kit a bit on the tele side. My longest
lens is a Zuiko 100mm f2.8. If you were to pick a 200 or 300, and only one,
which would you pick?
                                                                                
I shoot around waters' edges (lakes, rivers) and subjects are often a bit
out of reach of the 100mm. The 200 looks like very portable, carryable
lens. The 300 is larger and has a tripod collar. Can anyone comment on the
weight of the 300? Still carryable?
                                                                                
I have a Vivitar 2x teleconverter in my kit and could turn a 200 into a
400 on occasion as needed. Is that recommended or is there too much loss
in quality?
