Kalakoa,
You might notice a difference in the higher HP motors (20+hp) but not in any "consumer" devices.
@Kapohocat: Could be, but they left off a few words!
Also, most POCOs will not go over 200 amp as it requires a different transformer (unless there's already a tap available). You would also be considered commercial and be charged higher rates (usually based on peak usage and not actual usage). I have seen houses with two 200 amp services, but had different accounts. One had a big electric kiln.
