As a European I really see no valid reason why we decided to have a 500 euro note in the first place. It's really only convenient for forgers, the underground economy and organized crime.
The 200 euro notes should help you a long way in any realistic situation, but for any large amount of cash it'll over double the amount of notes involved.
Heck, I've had a few 200 euros in my pocket once when I ordered PC parts but was underage so I didn't have a card to pay for them with so I had to get them COD. Credit or debit cards are the overwhelming norm here for paying for things.
