Kicking off MAX braking results in an immediate release of the applied braking force. The aircraft lurches forward as it was decelerating and is now at a lower brake application. 200' might be a stretch but it definitely feels like it. Only way to overcome it is to mash on the brakes as hard as you can while in MAX braking which subjects humans in back to an even more uncomfortable ride.
Try it out and see, your passengers will love you !!

No I find Max is way overkill, brakes 3 works fine.

Max brakes can be released (relatively) smoothly by applying more braking force manually then tapering it off.
If someone is dumb enough for to be kicking off the brakes by stowing the speed brakes, then I can’t help them.
