I purchased this unit from Mars Music for $799. I needed an affordable keyboard with good piano sound and a real piano feel. It came with a stand and shipping was free.

The weighted action is very realistic and the piano sound is good, a big step up from my low-end Roland XP-10 synth, which is a good unit for other purposes. The electric piano sound is good too. I especially like the recording feature, which allows one to play over and over until you get that flawless performance, then I send it to my computer for recording to CD later. This saves a lot of time when trying to record to hard disk.

This unit has very few sounds, most of questionable value. I wish it had more than one organ sound, which is a church organ variety. The string sounds aren't as realistic as I would like. This is a fairly heavy unit and may not be for that small, relatively weak person that is looking for portability. I am having trouble finding an affordable case for it as it is a fairly long unit. I certainly don't want to put out hundreds of dollars for a case.

This is a heavy, tough unit of high quality construction. Functions are simple to use.

I am happy with the SP-100. I've waited a long while to find a unit of this quality for such a good price. I would recommend it for anyone looking for an affordable and portable electric piano with a real piano feel and sound.
