The PLG150AN board is a 'daughterboard' that requires a host system to 
function, i.e., Plugstation, MU90R, SW100XG, CS6x/r, etc.

The AN200 is a PLG150AN-in-a-box, i.e., table top module. The sound 
engine is the same but, obviously, the AN200 has a physical user 
interface allowing access to key functions. Unless I'm mistaken, I 
believe the AN200 is also equipped with a sample sound set in ROM that 
is available for use simultaneously making the AN200 a synth/drum 
machine combo.

Both products provide different solutions to users needs but are based 
on the same same sound engine. Personally, I have to admit I'm eager to 
check out the companion DX200 box.

As to whether the PLG150AN and AN200 can be used together - well, that 
depends on your existing kit doesn't it? The AN200 doesn't appear to 
offer an expansion slot for a 2nd PLG150AN card if that's what you're 
thinking of (making it into a 10-voice, table top AN1x.)

HTH,
