I have two of them. One is the cheaper Deltex model by Ultimate and also the one u have here but with the mic attachment. I love them. They are easy to use and sturdy. Try to get a travel bag if u will gig with it.

thanks. it looks like i have to buy the 18" arms to hold the p250, but s afew people on the site said it wasn't that great.

can you tilt the top keyboard at all?

no. that is one of the drawbacks. this stand is configured for sitting or standing to play but if you are over 6'2" you will have a slight problem playing two keyboards while standing.

I ordered the one with the mic stand cuz it said it comes with the larger arms on the bottom.

I'm only 5 9 so that won't be a problem (I hoep)

BTW, Cat (Ken) Grey who was Sheila's keyboard player in the 80s, and is now on "But Can They Sing"'s House band on Vh1, has a cool keyboard set up where is keyboards are kind of perpendicular to the floor..... it's relaly cool. I don't what stand he uses.

My first keyboard stand was a cheap one that let me tilt it and i use to do that and pretend I was in that band .

they are cool stands, and they take a beating too!
they are very quick to set up and are sturdy enough to do the job. the only draw back in my experience of using this stand is that if you choose to sit down then your pedals are to far back because of the angle of the main post.
i recently replaced mine with a hercules z frame stand, the main part is as quick to set up but the 2nd tier arms take a little longer. the advantage is that i can angle my top keyboard and get my pedals where i want them.
its all a matter of personal prefrence, i play both standing up and sitting down (depending on which band im playing with) and when i practice alone i am always sitting down, which prompted me to buy the hercules stand.
best of luck in your purchase

yeah it is hard to coordinate your pedals with the Ultimate stand. the "T" support bar at the bottom is kinda in the way of the pedals. I still like it though. it looks cool.
