Hey there,
Try the Roland KC-series. The KC-150 should be the one for you, considering your needs: http://www.zzounds.com/item--ROLKC150

I hope your back is feeling better, Laura!Yes...I'm the old gal who couldn't go to a jam last week cause I sprained my back. I have chronic back problems and the peavey amp is 37 lbs, plus it has a fat profile that makes it necessary to stoop over to carry it, so ergonomics is out the window.
As long as your keyboard has 1/4" output (or, at least, 1/8" output with a 1/8" female to 1/4" male adapter), any amp will work. You'll want a keyboard amp instead of a guitar amp, since guitar amps are designed to colour the sound while the goal of a keyboard amp is to reproduce the sound most accurately. Sure, you *can* use your amp to colour the sound, but since you'll be playing a large variety of sounds at different pitch ranges on your keyboard, colour wouldn't make sense: you wouldn't want the same colour applied to a bass sound as you would to brass.
A particular amp may be slightly better at doing strings, for example, than another, but that would be because that amp more accurately reproduces the frequency in the range you're looking at.
Your best bet here is to go to your local music store and try out a few amps with the same keyboard to see what sounds best to you. Ideally, use the keyboard you already have, but it probably doesn't matter that much. With keyboard amps, you're comparing overall sound quality as opposed to how your instrument sounds through the amp.
