I already have three helical backlash couplers. The steppers I bought came
with a
strange ball screw based (all of 3" of ball screw!) device that used the
connectors.
So I am really comparing $65 vs $160. I am in no hurry. This is all coming
out of
my "fun" money. I would like to have it all done before Christmas, as I have
a
bit of forced vacation between Christmas and New Years.
