Keep in mind that the ideal state is both routes using King St.
The 200 was never intended to serve people who live near Weber. The Weber/Guelph stop was always an interim measure that GRT was loathe to introduce because they feared (perhaps rightly) that people would grow to expect it to last in perpetuity.
Route 7's absence from King St has been a pain point for a lot of Midtown residents for a long time, and they are better served by the 7 than the 200.
With the 7 off of Park St, I suspect that Park St is a faster route for the 200 than Weber, so that's why the 200 would be moving there. [EDIT] wow huh. Both routes are exactly 4km. Speed is probably a wash.
I just think it's a shame that they can't use the transit reserved lanes on King St to run both buses back where they belong.
