Agreed.
Going off of Csmith's discussions of an SV650, the SV class for racing will be more stable than the 300s. The bikes are plentiful and modded.
I think a 300 is also perfect for working on technique at trackdays. I went from two 600s to a 300 and learned a lot more. The low cost and the small size of the 300 definitely helped me stay relaxed.
Not having owned an SV, I will say that a 300 would be a great trackbike.
However, I will say that the 300s will probably see more changes soon. For now, the Ninja 300 is kind of a protected group with some organizations, but that may change if Kawi updates it with a displacement bump. Just something to consider if you want to go racing.
