A few hundred dollars? Try $65.

Here's two kits:

The 200Amp kit is $125.00 and comes with 14 breakers.

Mind you, these are RETAIL prices.

Now add in the difference between 2/0 copper (or 4/0 aluminum) vs. #2

(or 1/0 aluminum) service entrance conductors. Don't forget that 200A
service
requires a heavier grounding conductor, too.
