As a matter of fact, I wouldn't want another AN1x. It reminds me of the
following joke:

An drunk lies in the gutter, where he finds a dirty bottle. Hoping that
there is something for him to drink, he rubs the bottle and *poof*, a genie
appears, and tells him that he has three wishes.
"Well", says the drunk, "I could really use a drink."
There's another *poof*, and he's holding a glass of whiskey in his hand. He
gulps it down, but then the glass fills itself with whiskey again.
"Hey, what's that?", asks the drunk.
"It's a magical glass", the genie tells him. "As soon as it's empty, it
fills itself again."
"Hey", says the drunk, "give me two more of these glasses!"

What I mean to say is that I'd rather put my money into a Supernova Pro X,
or another virtual analogue. But not another AN1x, because I already have
one. A little diversity won't hurt.

And there's the Triton Rack and the Virtuoso 2000, of course... ah well.
