No doubt. Bigger does not mean better. I think
having 300+ levels will affect game balance more than fiddling
with how experience is gained.
In a 300+ level system, you (unless you have very good idea
of what you're doing or how to best impliment it) remove most
all value of gaining a level, because of how insignificant a level
is with a range like that.
Just my opinion
