I have both the An1x and the PLG150An, and although the An1x is my board of choice, the guys in the band are really pushing for the Motif ES. I use the Motif ES almost strictly for lead sounds, and the An1x does these sounds so well, but it's almost a third of the ES7's weight, so, that's why I gravitate to the An1x!!

I'd say, sod you band mates and go with the AN1x. It's a very good lead 
synth. The ES is more the bread and butter, workstation style synth. Do 
you want to be a leader or a follower?  :)
