Clymer manual vs Honda service manual?

[GTO]

Which is better?
I have a Clymer manual for a Yamaha DT175 and a Haynes manual for a Suzuki B200 I have and find them much more thorough than the Honda service manual I downloaded from the external site.
I am thinking of ordering a Clymer manual for the ATC200ES is it worth it?

I think the honda manual has a lot more information.

It seems to me the Haynes/Clymer manual are more for the average Joe vs the factory manuals that are written for dealer techs that have some knowledge. I think it's cool when the Haynes manuals willl suggest using a tool you may already have to do a job while the factory manuals assume you have all the factory special tools.

This is why I am considering buying the Clymer but I actually haven't had much experience with Clymer(it is actually my father's DT175 and manual).
And it doesn't look like Haynes print a manual for the 84 200ES.

I've found that each manual has advantages over another one. I have referenced all three to get the info I need on one machine:wondering If you can afford it, get a Honda manual and at least one of the other two.

What year DT175? I started off on a 78 DT175 when I was younger. It was my first motorized vehicle I had. Loved that, wish I still had it.

He bought it out the box in 1981 and it is still in immaculate condition. It only has 11000km on the clock.
