200 miles is not really enough to have had any broken spokes at this point. Broken spokes usually break after 2000 miles in my experience. If you take it back now, you're doing yourself a big favor, if not, expect trouble down the road.
I was going to take it in Friday but I'm going to Indiana to drive the support van for a Friend doing RAIN (Ride Across Indiana) on Saturday. So it's probably going to be sometime next week. I had the bike in 3 weeks ago to swap out the stem to raise the handlebars. He did a quick once over on the bike then and didn't have any troubles. My point was that in the OP case, he'd broken 2 spokes in about 120 miles with the same model bike. So either, he got an unlucky wheel, I got a lucky wheel, or my LBS at least did a basic tensioning when I bought the bike after we had discussed weight issues.
