Absolutely. And low cost, high quality products like the Gecko drives
makes it possible for many of us to develop machines, who chould not
otherwise do it.

We do need to be clear about the consequences of the choices that we make.
For many applications, the step and direction signals are a perfect
choice. For others a full servo implementation with separate current,
velocity, and position loops are the way to go.

Sometimes we get the impression that most of the cost of a 500k machine is
profit for the company that made it. There are also very real and
very difficult costs/benefit decisions and trial and error that go into the
making of a machine.
