The alternative option is presumably to use an explorer to feed the second zone but this does mean yet more money.
I am just about to do something very similar but will use an MS200 in the main system where you have an ID41. I'll let you know how it goes with the home plugs. I'm sure others are using them already.

I can't really see how you would use an Explorer to add a zone with DSP3100's.
