If you have Dish as your residential sat provider, and have some combination of Hoppers and Joeys on your account, Dish will only allow one VIP211 series receiver/Tailgater on that account. You can of course set up a separate account for the receivers used with multiple Tailgaters, at a much higher cost.
Dish has no way of knowing if you are using a Tailgater or a standard dish,so I can see no reason why you can't use a second receiver on the same amount. If you are using the X2 and you have 2 receivers only one has to be the 211 (the main one) the other one doesn't control the dish so I can see no reason to be one but for the price I would use the 211. When you call and change your locals all receivers on your account will be changed at the same time so there should be no confusion if you have 2 receivers, they also have no idea were the second receiver is located. It would be just like having multiple receivers at your house.
If my Tailgater quits I may change to the X2, not for the second receiver but because it's bigger, time will tell.
