Patncor, No, I have only used the EJ230 and don't have any experience with anything else. I think that one continues to be Roland's top pick for this type of build.
Yes, the EJ230 should work well out to 200 yards provided you have enough illumination. I took a gray fox at 125 yards with it and with my LLTL-001 illuminator.
The only issue I see with shooting at any distance is the need for more scope magnification. Seems everything looks further away at night. Optical illusion I suppose. When you zoom the scope up much more than 6x, it becomes more grainy and gathers less light. I have had it up to around 9x and it was OK, enough for me to make killing shots, but when you back it down to around 6x you can see a pretty big difference in the view. I like to video and make them clear looking as much as possible, and at 60 yards (my bait site range) you can see how good it looks. At 6x and 60 yards, I lose a bit of field-of-view, but that's not a real problem at a bait site. It could be if you are calling and you would probably want less magnification.
Also, there is a trade off between sharp and clear looking crosshair vs. target. If you adjust the lens to have a sharp crosshair, the target becomes a bit fuzzy, and if you adjust the target to be really clear, the crosshair becomes fuzzy. There is a trade off and I adjust to where I get both pretty good as you can see in the video. I could actually focus to have the fox look more clear, but the crosshair would be pretty fuzzy. Just find the sweet spot for both and you are good to go.
One other issue is that of focus. If you shoot from a stationary place, like a bait site for coyotes or hogs, you can focus the camera lens for that distance and be just fine. But, if you are using the outfit to call, and have coyotes show up anywhere from 200 yards to 30 yards, you will have a problem with focus. You can set the focus for a specific range and it will work reasonably well give or take a few yards, but when ranges vary greatly it does become an issue. Focusing when an animal is coming in could really pose a problem. I view the outfit as more suited for bait site hunting.
Weekender, Yes, the fox get a pass. Fur prices (here at least) are pretty darn low, and I like having them around anyway. I have taken a couple out in the field previously, not at the bait site, but I don't like to shoot too many of them for some reason. It's just me. I enjoy videoing them. I much prefer coyotes and keep waiting and hoping, and try to keep the night as quiet as possible too.
