I wasnt (but cant speak for others) saying that a CPL with 200 hours is going to do any better instructing than a PPL with 900. The only point I was trying to make is that if you do want to instruct, do the theory and then the CPL flight test. In my mind it is a commercial job and should stay that way. It was in no way a comment on the level of profiencey of PPL's and one could argue the fact that if a PPL has 900ish hours then they must REALLY love aviaiton to have got that much time in their book by way of their own pocket. But again I must say I believe instructing should remain the job of Commercial pilots. If you already have 900 hours (or whatever to be considered an experienced PPL) then the great 'leap' into a commercial licence is not that hard to take.
