The difference between A and B will be the extra work the rider had to do to "spin up" the extra 200g of rolling weight. I'm saying that difference will be small. The heavier wheel is harder to spin up, but the magnitude of the difference is small. If the total power output of the rider is ~100 Watts, then the difference between the two will be 1 or 2 Watts. Less than the difference we suffer by running a dynamo.
And the additional weight will act as a flywheel, and help keep the rotation more nearly constant.
