So this week I bought myself a 2nd one so I  can play in stereo. It 
arrived thursday and what a difference playing in stereo! I would 
recomend the KB1200 to any e-drummer or gate opener. As  for the 60 
watt model beheringer it has lots of pre sets and effects that I 
would never use. In short I like my BX1200's You will need a strong 
back with These's units Kinda Heavy. LOL Lazz
