Like with everything else in life....it depends.
I'll comment on my own experiences. My main game are $60 - 5 table turbo sngs. If anyone wants to experience some huge swings....I recommend playing these...haha.
I started with with the $27 dollar tourneys. And had a crazy ROI. The jump to the $60 was a simple...as I continued to play the $27 and mixed in a few 60s. The jump was really easy, even though the competition was a lot harder. I went through a massive up swings at the start. Since that time, I've played probably over 5000 5-tbl sngs. My worse downswing was for about 9k (maybe a bit more).
I could only absorb the lost because I leave a lot of money on my online roll. It never got to the point where I had to switch games or move to a lower level. If it came down to it, I would probably move down to a lower level first.
For your situation, I would probably continue playing the $200s....and when you're having a good or break even day...feeling good...then play one or two $500s to end the session.
Continue to do so until you feel confident you can beat the game....if you can't, stay at the $200s. I don't see why you would have to force yourself to move up to a higher level first and stay there.
The swings in the HU's are probably a lot less swingy than the 5 tbl turbos as you game selection is a lot easier to decide...instead of joining every one possible.
Good luck in any case.
