I own a Korg SP-200 which has the same technology as the SP-250 but
without the stand, the pedal and the speakers. It's a nice e-piano very
reliable and solid.
The sound is okay - the same for the keys. I don't know the other Pianos
but this one is good. I would recommend it. But you should try them all
in a store.

How the pedals work is explained in another respond - but I'm playing
about 10 years and didn't need another than the sustain pedal. The
others may be nice for some pieces, but they are mostly not needed.

Sounds like fun - even if I never played Schoenberg :)
