Can commercial pedals replace SP-30 of PX-320?

I have bought a new PX-320. I bought the wooden stand thinking I would get an SP-30, but I learn't from this forum "Casio SP-30 serious problems" that they are fragile and break, with no hopes of repairs.
So, my question is: is there a 3-pedal unit or single pedals that I can use to replace the SP-30 unit of Casio PX-320? I had the following two for the sustain pedal: 1) Korg DS1H Piano with Half-pedal feature 2) StudioLogic VFP310 3-pedal unit Also, not sure why StudioLogic VFP310 has 3-pedals for a sustain pedal feature; the rep said they were not for sostenuto or soft! Would you know how they are used in that case?
I would like to have the half-pedal feature as well as the other pedals I would otherwise get from a SP-30 unit.
Thanks.

You haven't even gotten the piano yet? Wait till you get it. I'm sure the pedals will work okay.

I believe this piano comes with a damper pedal. You only need one pedal. Buying a 3-pedal unit for a digital piano would be a complete waste of money. And you don't need half-pedaling. All a half-pedal does is teach you sloppy pedaling technique.
If it doesn't have a pedal, then any aftermarket damper pedal would be okay. These are about $15-$30.

I just ordered it, waiting for it. I was going to get the three pedal for it, but I guess it is not needed like you said, so then I can just use the one that comes with it or buy one of the others if this seems bad. Thanks a lot for your reply. I think I made the right choice. Do you like the PX-320?

All a half-pedal does is teach you sloppy pedaling technique. Au contraire, half-pedaling is great. But it's a big ripoff you have to purchase one of those ridiculously flimsy 3-pedal units from the manufacturer to get it. You can break these things just be looking at them wrong. Apparently true for both Casio and Yamaha units...
