Seller asking $200, for use in my Proof Washington Set, any thoughts?

I don't think you'll be happy with it. A problem-free coin won't cost all that much more.
Edit to add: That looks like pretty heavy hairlines.

I would pass on this coin and agree with ChrisH821.
Sounds like a lot of money to me. A PR-65 is on the Grey Sheet for $190. Silly me paid $270 for this one. A PR-60 is on the Greay Sheet for $100.
The coin in the OP is something you probably want to upgrade once you finish the set. You won't get much for it anytime soon, especially when you are buried at $200.
It may be $190 on the Greysheet, but you won't likely find one for that. Looks like $250-$300 for PR65 is the going rate, still not too much more than the offered price on that details one.
The PR65 you have pictured is an exceptional example from an earlier die state that does not yet have the low relief details polished off. Compare to the detail of the one in the OP. I think you did well on that one.

I have thoughts. Let the seller continue to ask while you walk away and find another coin.

what kind of value does a details coin have to a registry set? does it count as a zero?
You get 3 points on the NGC registry. Three points in a "hole filler" score. I'm not sure what the PCGS registry does for you.
It looks like a coin worth less than $100 to me.
Thanks for all the responses. I did make an offer of $100 but it wasn't accepted. I'll wait until a better, no issues, coin comes up.
