Service size and 240.4B

[florida-sparkey]

Hello all.
I have to start with here in FL we still use 2011 NEC. (Booooo)

Short and sweet...
I have a resi service I am going to do. One 400A meter can, one 200A main breaker in enclosure (as OCPD & disconnect to remote panel) and one 200A main breaker panel. Pretty much standard but the one panel is remote over 100 feet away.

Because of the long, truss filled, wire pull, I want to use 4/0 XHHW SER cable to feed the remote panel and therefore will use the 4/0 to feed the other just so it looks same.

The math works with each panel being loaded well under 180A using the standard method.
AHJs around here vary on this so I feel I cannot safely use 310.15B(6) from meter to each panel because they are not complete loads for the residence.
My hope is to use the next available OCPD from 4/0 XHHWs rated Ampacity of 180A which is 200A per 240.6.

Is there any issue I missed that restricts my using 240.B next up sizing with a main breaker?

Thanks!

Yes, if the calculated load is 180A or less, you can use the next size up rule here.

Thanks to all and to you David. I looked but missed the 230.90(A) exception 2 and that is exactly what I needed to be sure of my install.
