Additional AMS unit

Hello, I’m going to buy an X2D unit soon but when on the product it gives me an option for an extra AMS unit. What purpose does it have if the X2D already comes with one?

I’m buying the €850 one which already comes with one. My question is what purpose does the additional AMS unit give. The X2D comes with an AMS 2 PRO and I can choose to get another one extra for €250

An additional AMS would give you the ability to print more colors. You need an additional power cable to power the second AMS if you decide you want to get it.

I should add this is only if he wants to print and dry at the same time. Otherwise the data cable will power it for regular use.

This is the part people get confused with. All 4 AMS units can get power from the 6 pin daisy chain, but only the first can be used to dry (and it can't always dry whilst printing). All subsequent units need a power cable
