some of the "features" are not great - you can layer two instruments, and adjust the volume of the two. for a neat sound, i layer "jazz guitar" beneath piano, setting the guitar to "barely audible." that's good. but when you split the keyboard, so that it's bass in the left hand and piano in the right, for instance, there is no separate control of volume. and, when you press the sustain pedal, you sustain both voices, and nobody wants a bass with sustain.
but for my purposes it's just right. i do 95% piano, and sub on other instruments only occasionally. i like that i can take it to a gig, plug into the pa system and play. take it back home, and to practice, just set it up with the power supply, no need to cable it into my home stereo. the built-in speakers do that for you.
the built-in rhythms are only 4/4 and 3/4, no practice in the popular 5/4 or 7/4 rhythms. but if you're needing that, you can get irealbook on an android and have much more flexibility.
until i have roadies, this 30-pounder does it for me.
it has usb midi which is handy for playing various vst pianos in my daw.
negatives: the only other voicing that i like on board is strings, the rest of the on board sounds are not good imo.
