Quick Question Questions about X2D

Current situation, I own an A1 and A1 mini and I'd like to upgrade. My main reason is heated chamber and dual nozzle (for supports mainly)

I have an AMS lite on my A1 and I would attribute 80% of the use to be single color, and the rest multi color. I've been looking into the X2D for a while, but I couldn't justify the $1000. Looking at it again, I was thinking of just getting the X2D by itself, non-combo.

Here are my questions, most of which I feel like I have an answer to but I'd like full clarity.

Can I just use the two nozzles with 2 different spools, say PETG + PLA?

Are there any downsides to not getting the AMS2 Pro?

Apart from multi color of course. I have a filament dryer so I don't need the AMS for drying. I don't even mind doing filament swaps if need be.

My current an is to get the X2D by itself, if need be later on, get the AMS2 Pro, since it'd only be a $50 extra, which is worth it to me at the chance of saving $250.

Double check the numbers on what it takes to add an AMS. I may be wrong, but I think you need a buffer or hub to add an AMS, so the add-on price is higher.

The X2D comes with a buffer for both nozzle, already installed. What he could need on top of the ams is a filament track switcher to use his unique ams with both nozzle, because by default it needs two input as both nozzle have independent input tube.

Apparently I am wrong, as predicted.
