Its not surprising the 2x and 6x were made after the huge success of the 1x.
In contrast sales of AN1x were pretty poor.

I suppose the big brother of AN1x was EX5 (or at least it contains some of
the same technology). Also you aren't restricted to just the S series and
CS6x for the PLG150AN card. It works quite nicely in
MU100/MU100R/MU128/MU1000/MU2000 and SW1000XG.

I can also assure you that PLG150AN isn't the last we will see of this
technology from Yamaha!!
