Probably. I use a Casio CDP-100 as a MIDI controller on stage now for my Yamaha 9000 Pro and love it, and I assume the PX-200 has the same keybed but much better sound. It has the same form factor of the older Privias, but now has an option for am optional three-pedal unit. I use a Kawai ES4 with MP3 backing at other gigs (96-note polyphony, 45lbs) and if the Casio PX-200 compares favorably sound-wise then I would use the PX-200 on stage due to it's lighter weight and retire the Kawai to home/studio use. I use the Kawai as a studio MIDI controller and rehearsal piano now and it works well for that. So yeah, I could see the Casio PX-200 as a handy keep-in-the-van gig piano. Gotta play one first though... they are supposed to come out in March.

Also I've been shopping for a piano for permanent placement in my mother's new house and that new Casio PX-800 has potential there. It will list for about $1000 USD and will also be available in March. Here's another picture of it:
