I own the HW77/97k and LGV. I have shot the TX200 quite a bit.
In terms of solidness, nothing comes close to the HW77/97. Both of mine stack pellet on top pellet at 30 meters. Pretty much everything in these guns is solid steel.
However, the springs / spring guides that these guns come with as standard are not the best.
The HW77 is because of it's longer cocking handle, easier to cock.
The LGV is the most quiet springer I have ever used, this is a huge plus if you have neighbors nearby. The shot cycle is smoother than on my tuned HWs. However, it does lack the solidness of HWs and the trigger does not compare, I will be replacing it for a rowan engineering trigger. I honestly cannot say that the LGV is a better shooting gun than the HWs. The HWs are a little jumpier when shot, but just as accurate (if not more so). None of these guns are hold sensitive.
The TX200 is the poshest looking gun, I already owned an HW77 and went for an HW97 as a second springer. The solidness and easy of loading of the HW97 is what appealed to me. The ease of loading is also why I went for the LGV over the LGU.
If you want my two cents; get an HW77 with the extended, threaded barrel so that you can mount a silencer. Re-grease and install a new spring, tophat and spring-guide and be done with it! The HW will give you a longer cocking handle and you can shoot with open sights as well!
I also own the HW30, it is just not in the same league as the above mentioned guns. It is also very small for a grown adult.
