Currently my app is right around the 200K events mark (yes we could be a bit leaner with our events) so I'm deciding whether to pay Mixpanel or switch to Google Analytics/AWS Mobile Analytics.

Any suggestions/advices on how to decide one vs. another?

I believe there are too many alternatives and it is just a matter of what exactly are you searching for in an analytics tool and what are your needs. People actually looking for different kinds of metrics when using analytics tools.

http://www.woopra.com is a great tool but their pricing is a bit high for the amount of events you described in your question. They also include analytics for web.

http://www.kilometer.io looks very promising as it targets to analytics for startups and aims to be very simple. Event based analytics such as this are really the best ones.

What are the current problems you are having with MixPanel?

You should definitely check out Amplitude.

disclosure: I work there, but there's no reason you shouldn't try us out if you're looking for an alternative.

Our free plan is for 1 million monthly events: https://amplitude.com/pricing

all the basics you're used to, like Funnels and Retention, plus some other cool stuff like unlimited user timelines (this is extra as part of Mixpanel's People plan)and Event Flows.
