Default Build an RV of ???

I am considering building an RV-7A. I currently own an Arrow. I would like
to have an airplane that will cruise at about 200, with a 200 Hp engine in
order to keep the fuel burn numbers within reason. Is the RV the way to go
or am I missing something??
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated and probably heeded.

If your objective is to fly, find a used one for sale somewhere.

If you objective is to enjoy the process of building your own airplane, then
build one.

Your stated objectives are 200 mph, 200 hp - sounds to me like you want to
fly, not build.
