UPDATED REVIEW - June 1, 2022 | Roland RCP-800 & Roland MP-200 Digital Pianos | Should You Buy Them? | The Roland RCP-800 and MP-200 digital pianos are newer models from the Roland music products company sold by Costco and Guitar Center stores (respectively) on-line at both companies and in some Guitar Center stores. They are the identical pianos with the RCP model being sold exclusively by Costco and the MP model selling at Guitar Center and also Musicians Friend which is a Guitar Center owned company. The RCP-800 is $1999 plus tax and the MP-200 is also $1999 plus tax.
Roland took their entry level HP702 digital piano from the HP line which has been out for a a few years and sells on average for about $2400 plus tax at piano stores and changed the piano polyphony memory from "unlimited memory" to 256-notes of memory (according to their web site specs) and changed the bench to a matching height adjustable bench instead of a larger bench.
Roland MP-200 / RCP-800 digital piano
Roland kept the factory warranty the same which is 5 years parts & 2 years labor.
The Roland HP702 is the mainstream version of this RCP-800 and MP-200 and share the same Roland entry level key action in the piano called the PHA-4 Standard key action which is also in the Roland $899 portable digital piano called the FP-30X.
As for this so-called "powerful" internal speaker system that the Costco and Guitar Center web sites are saying is in the RCP-800 and MP-200, it's the same speaker system that's in the HP702 with a total wattage at just 28 watts of power going into 2 amplifiers through 2 smaller speakers.
This Yamaha is 10x better sound and action for $1599

Search YouTube for reviews.
The minor differences in wattage spec , polyphony , that's all pretty bunk relative to the old ass 10 yr old sound engines they keep rebadging year after year. The built in sound quality is significantly worse than even the cheapest bookshelf speakers you can buy for $50.
The pha4 action is pretty decent, but it's on the stiff side. This package is not a good deal. Costco's frp1 pack which comes with the FP10 and bench and stand for $550 is a way better deal. the fp10 has the same action as this, but it doesn't support continuous pedal readout (unnecessary in most cases).
All digital pianos are overpriced for their low level obsolete technology. Piano playing has gone out of style giving way to gaming and other hobbies, so they've ran out of steam in development. It's just old junk.
Still, if you're dead set on playing piano, wait for their holiday frp1 bundle.
The P515 recommended by funkmasterta, is on paper a better piano, but in usage, it's a tossup. the p515 nwx action has wood accents on the white keys, but that's just 2 slips of wooden fascade, the key core is plastic. It's not that different from the pha4. They feel different of course. The 515's nwx action is also on the stiff side. Some people like it, some hate it, same with the PHA4 in the roland.
Do take note that wood is NOT a good material to build key actions out of because they are subject to twist under differing humidity and heat. This does not affect the 515 because it has a plastic core, but it does make full wooden actions like acoustic pianos and kawai's grand feel actions less precise/ repeatable in long term ownership. They often produce erratic midi values.
The 515 uses again, 10 year old junk tech for sound engine. Looped samples, Tiny sound rom, crappy speakers, again here they're way worse than cheap $50 bookshelf speakers. I would say the p515 is very well built physically, quite a nice body.
