well, it's more like $100.  at sweetwater, the rp200 is $149, the rp300 $199,
the rpx400 $249.  their prices seem comparable with everyone else.

when i started using my rp300, i expected i'd have it up on a barstool
where i could operate it by hand.  nope.  with limited space (at a blues jam),
i sit my open harp case on top of a barstool, with the rp underneath.  it's
out of the way, but still i can stil work the foot switches.

it's a nice setup.  i'm still learning to use it, but it's a lot more portable
than lugging an amp around.  i'm back to carrying my gear with one hand,
leaving the other free to accept drinks.
