Look, yes, the "Adv." in TIE Adv. Prototype clearly stands for "Advanced", but FFG have ruled that for a ship to take an upgrade card, it must contain the entirety of the name of the ship.

Consistent with that ruling is an official response by Fantasy Flight: https://www.reddit.com/r/XWingTMG/comments/40trk7/tiefo_youngerster_interaction_tie_adv_prototype/

Fantasy Flight have officially ruled that the TIE Adv. Prototype may not take the x1 title, nor may they be docked to the Gozanti.

They clearly planned this out deliberately and it's more than aesthetics.
