Yea there are many pro's and con's on this one.
It doesn't fix the missed first step on the sequencer on some patches, that is a hardware/speed issue.
Something to live with. Like the timing issues on the MS2000 in the arp and lack of full range of midi cc on the ION and no (other than standard) midi cc on the Micron and on and on... I am sure there are many examples of slight bugs on many synths. ;-)
The ION and Micron are not smooth OS updaters either. But with a few attempts, you get it to take the update. ;-) The real easy one was the MS2000 and Triton Extreme for me. Was very slick and fast. But that is what sort of make it more a challenge, getting to know your instrument.

Subject: [AN1x] Re: worth Update OS 1.03 for AN200
My AN200 already had OS v. 1.03 in it when I found the 1.03 update at
a Yamaha website. If I remember right, Yamaha wouldn't even say
what's different about 1.03. (When asked about "the sequencer bug"
Yamaha at one time was even quoted as saing that the AN/DX 200
operating systems weren't upgradeable via MIDI.) I think there was
someone here who tried to update to v. 1.03 and ended up ruining their
AN200. I'm not saying you'd have the same result but if it were me, I
wouldn't bother. For my $0.02, unless an OS documents offering
something that I'd use or view as an improvement in my synth, then I
won't load it. e.g. with my Ion, I updated from OS 1.0 to 1.05
without hesitation but I haven't updated to 1.06 because it doesn't
offer anything that is relevant to how I use the Ion.
