Well basically yes.

Do they sound the

Yup, well ok, some people claim the AN200 sounds more "phat", but 
honestly...it depends on your ability of soundengineering also...IMHO.

Hm, that´s this VSTi Plug-In right?
Did you? 
I had a HardSid ISA card with a SID 8850 (6851 are gone from the 
second hand market...i guess Elektron bought them all).
It was nice to play with, but...it was detuned a few cents...
Didn´t worked with my other synths, and i was to lazy to adjust the 
rest of my gear to the Hardsid.
I am sure Sidstation and QuadraSid are more voice-stable.
The AN1x and Sid-sound will go along well, i am sure.
Those raw edgy SID leads adn basses together with those silky AN1x-
Prophet-like pads...mmmm. ;)
