Have there been any vocals versus music thru one amp issues with the Motion 200s? My concern was that is has 10" speakers, what about bass?
Again, I don't sing so I can't answer that from experience. It is my humble opinion that you could either run the vocals through the keyboard (assuming your keyboard does that) and then into the amp for combined vocals/music without any problems; or you could use one stereo channel of the amp for keys and the other channel for vocals. The KP-200s has a lo-z mic input dedicated to channel 2 but there is no insertion I/O's so you would have to run your vocal into something like a Digitech Vocalizer workstation for reverb/harmony first then go into the amp. But I don't want to mislead you - a typical PA would probably offer the singer-keyboardist more power, flexibility and fewer feedback headaches than the KP-200s alone. For me as an instrumentalist, the amp is perfect.
Bass is no problem at all - it has LOTS. I ran break party/dance music MP3's over the KP-200s and it rocked.

I don't think this offers any benefit over a regular PA. There is no pole-mounting option on the KP-200s. For big gigs, I would use the KP-200s as a stage amp/vocal monitor and use a regular PA for mains. For me, since I'm an instrumentalist, I can just take the KP-200s' stereo XLR outputs and plug them into my EONs for a large gig.
