Features
The weighted keyboard is excellent -- not quite equal to Yamaha's, but as good as Roland's or Kurzweil's. The SP-200 includes a sustain footswitch, but the half-damper pedal to replace it is an optional $60 add-on. The power socket is one of those small round ones that uses a regular "wall wart" AC adapter, and so is more fragile than a proper three-prong plug. Fine for a house, but not that great if it were being regularly plugged and unplugged on stages. Similarly, it's odd that both the power button and headphone jack are on the back of the housing, since that's not convenient for anyone. The LEDs that indicate the SP-200's current settings are adequate, but it's sometimes hard to know exactly what those settings are at a glance
