The RP200/200A does some very nice things.  The newer models have better reverbs and USB for backing up the device to computer, both of which are excellent features, so that's what I recommend in general.  But the 200 makes nice sounds.

In case anyone else has an RP200 lying around that they'd like to put to good use, I offer a set of 40 patches for that device for $20.  See http://hunterharp.com/store/.

If you don't have an RP200 lying around, I'd still recommend the 250 or 255, which are available used for well under $100.
