I wouldn't buy both because they sound so similar. I'd prefer to get 
a DX200 instead of an AN200 if I already had an An1X. I imagine for 
dance music the AN200 is a little more appropriate. The knobs are 
preset for filter sweeps and such. It's a little easier to switch 
patterns on the sequence and of course you have some additional 
sounds to help you in the rhythm department.

To some degree it depends what else you have and how you plan to play 
it. But for most dance applications the AN200 is easier to use. You 
do get less synth for the money (5 voices instead of 10) though.

Cheers,
