Did you get any photographs of the ZS200GY-10? It is still an excellent deal at $2,054.
It's too bad the fuel tank is too small for your trip. The progressive, lower shock linkage of the ZS200GY-2 will be much superior to the shock linkage on the ZX200. Based upon your photos of the ZX200, I think the the ZS200GY-10 represents a better value.
Of course, if you are riding to Patagonia, the RX3 is the best choice. It has 16-liter fuel tank, luggage, fuel injection, and all the features you could desire for such a trip.
Should you wish to sell your bike after completing the trip, I think the RX3 might also be easier to sell.
