I would appreciate a little advice from anyone who has pushed E200.

I loaded up a roll of E200 for some around town shooting today. I wanted to push it a stop, so I set the ISO dial for (gulp) 400 -- instead of 320, which is the recommended speed for a 1-stop push of E200. I didn't realize my error until the roll was almost finished.

Should I ask the lab to push the film 1 stop or 2 stops?

I'm afraid that a 2-stop push would lead to washed out/blown out results. But I don't know if the film has enough latitude to get away with a 1-stop push.
 
That should not matter too much. I did that with my first roll. It will appear 1/3-1/2 stop under exposed may be ( this kind of thing can be subjective..:)

I have pushed E200 a couple of times with mixed results. The first time I exposed at 800 and had the lab push it two stops. The resulting slides were mostly underexposed.
Second time I exposed at 400 and had the lab push it one stop. The slides came out just fine.

I don't really think you can go wrong with a one stop push at ISO400.
Here's a shot of E200 @ISO400 with a one stop push:
