Might be a dumb thought but I am interested in how others feel.

Just as a little sanity check, a 60a average use works out to 10,368
kwh a month. At a dime a kwh you would have a thousand buck electric
bill.
I do understand some people may have some pretty big peak loads but I
still think, if you aren't Al Gore 200a is plenty for just about
anyone.
Even with large potential loads you rarely run into issues with a
"normal" 200A service. I have a 200A service and with electric heat,
clothes dryer, oven, welder and the usual lighting loads I could
theoretically peak at around 300A if everything were to hit at once, but
I've yet to have a problem.
