Arne, I need #2. It is awful to be planning on spending big bucks
for servos and then have a crate of big, unused steppers with
drives ($1700 each?)drop in your lap for free that just happen
to be a good inertia match. Life is so unfair. ;^)

Obviously I prefer and have more experience with servo, but
should I step (with some crash protection) and eat better?

I guess I answered my own question by mounting one of the
motors yesterday to at least try.
