Choosing a portable amp+speaker for a portable digital piano

Hello,

My wife is a classical pianist. Recently she started getting gigs in places without pianos somewhat regularly, so we got her a Yamaha portable digital piano (the P-105). It has a decent sound, but the built-in speakers are way too weak for anything bigger than a small room, so we want an active speaker, aka speaker plus amp, aka PA. The budget is around 200 Euro and, even more importantly, the weight should be under 10 kg.

After long research I have a shortlist:

- Roland Cube CM30
- Behringer B210D

The Cube is roundly praised for sound quality and is lighter, but might be too quiet. The Behringer is still of an acceptable weight, has more power, has a larger woofer so theoretically should have better bass, but reviews of sound range from "great" to "flat".

I would really love opinions on these ones, as the obvious soluton of listening to both might not be available here in Limerick.
